That's Kimmel trying to blame 50% of the country for the murder of Charlie Kirk.
I don't think Kimmel was trying to blame half of the country for the murder.
I do think he was insinuating that the right is crazier and associated with something horrible like that, which was an inaccurate and classless way to react to such a tragedy. I mean, this guy shed more tears for a lion than he did over a real person being assassinated for their beliefs.
It's also lazy, when you consider how many on the left reacted with cold responses about Kirk and showing no empathy for his family. Had someone on the left been assassinated like that and people on the right had taken to Tik-Tok to celebrate it, you can bet Jon Stewart, Kimmel, and others would have been plastering those videos everywhere and making a big deal out of it. They weren't going to with this.
I mean, even Congress unanimously condemned the Minnesota shootings. But when they tried to do the same for Kirk, dozens of democrats refused. That's where we are as a country today, which is sad.
But Kimmel doesn't care. He's a paid actor that others use to get their messaging across. I'm not the least bit surprised one of his first guests after the 'time out' was Gavin Newsom. He used Kimmel and his show as a 2028 campaign commercial...and Kimmel was happy to jump at it like a lapdog.
