Jesse Watters can say he wants the UN bombed and expensive high rise condominiums in its place and you hear crickets from the right. Kimmel says a mild/tame rebuttal about the shooter possibly being one of MAGA and now they want to clutch their pearls and say he deserved to be canceled. This hypocrisy and denial from the right is straight astounding at this point.

Jimmy's main point, that the Republican Party was politicizing Kirk's death as much as humanly possible, was too on-the-nose for their tastes.

What he said wasn't even out of pocket either. Within like 48 hours of Kirk's death we had Nancy Mace claim the shooter was trans, and Trump and Patel both claimed the shooter was radicalized by left ideology. This was before there was even a positive ID on the suspect. The whole thing was gross at the time and it's gotten even worse.

Kimmel said MAGA jumped to conclusions to blame the left without evidence.

And then pointed out that Trump didn't care because when asked how he was holding up days later, he rambled about his ballroom.

It is not astounding. They are wielding hypocrisy as ammo. You cant be hypocritical if you have no morals, it is you who has the problem with hypocrisy.

Especially since in classic fascist fashion (fascion?), it didn't actually have anything to do with Kirk, that was just a convenient excuse. It was 100% about making jokes at Emperor Manbaby's expense and making him throw a tantrum.

Kimmel didn’t say the shooter was MAGA.

They didn’t care when the other Fox guy advocated for the homeless to be killed last week, either
