In this episode of “You Can’t Make It Up, The Left Already Did”…
ABC’s former funnyman Jimmy Kimmel recently shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone, offering a fresh perspective on why Donald Trump achieved a substantial victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
Despite its unintentional comedic value, it’s worth noting that the left seems unable to grasp the reality that numerous Democrats, including Black and Hispanic voters, crossed party lines to support Trump. Furthermore, many former Democrat voters chose to reject the radical policies associated with the Democrat Party rather than endorsing Trump outright.
Yep, on the left, the reality hasn’t set in — and it never will. Let’s hope not, anyway.Â
Now, let’s get to the insufferable Mr. Kimmel, whose self-importance as a left-wing **checks notes** comedian is off the Looney Tune charts.Â
During his conversation with Rolling Stone, Kimmel claimed that the criticism comedians faced from liberals regarding their jokes played a significant role in Trump’s victory over Harris. While it may sound incredulous, Kimmel genuinely expressed this sentiment, indicating a belief in its validity.
Kimmel told the outlet:
I don’t put limits on what I laugh at. But for me personally, as I’ve grown older, as I’ve matured, I won’t make a joke that I wouldn’t make if a person of that color or persuasion was in the room. That’s how I look at it. I think a lot of the outrage is completely manufactured, and it’s like, a lot of these people who are angry aren’t really angry. I think these liberals who’ve done such a good job of viciously attacking comedians are a big part of the reason why Trump is the president right now.
Did you follow that fairy-tale bilge? Me, neither.
Kimmel explained he believes the American people are fed up with being told what they are allowed to think is funny. Perhaps, Jimbo, but people are really fed up with being told what they must support and what they can’t criticize. Anyway, here’s more:
I just think human beings in general, when you see something that makes you laugh and you see a bunch of other people laughing, and then somebody steps in with their arms folded and goes, ‘That’s not funny, and here’s why that’s not funny,’ it just doesn’t give you a good feeling about a person. And you want to say to that person, ‘Lighten up.’
Delusional at best; an intentional crock of crap at its worst.
Kimmel failed to mention the left’s histrionic reaction to, say, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld hilariously torching the left on a regular basis. Other examples abound. The hypocrisy of the left is so hardwired that they can’t see it. Thing is, a majority of Americans do see it.Â
Kimmel also managed to utter a bit of truth — albeit for the wrong reasons:
There’s no black and white when it comes to comedy. There is no line. The line is different for every person. Dave Chappelle can say things that somebody else might not be able to. I don’t think anybody should be canceled. I really don’t.
Turns out I’m a big fan of Dave Chappelle, and to Kimmel’s point, Chappelle is an equal opportunity offender, yet without malice or bitterness. Can Kimmel say the same thing about himself? Or Stephen Colbert? Seth Meyers? Hollywood? Please, Jimmy — your hypocrisy is showing.
