Jimmy Kimmel can’t help himself. He lacks self-control. He’s totally driven by identity politics.
He weighed in on the heartbreaking massacre and– you guessed it– cried and made it political. That’s his schtick now.
“Children are being murdered,” Kimmel said.
“Don’t you dare let anyone say it’s too soon to be talking about this. Because you said it after Vegas, you said it after Sandy Hook, you say that after every one of these (eight, now) fatal school shootings we had in this country this year,” Kimmel continued. “Do something. We still haven’t even talked about it. You still haven’t done anything about this. Nothing. You’ve literally done nothing.”
Please Jimmy. What do you expect politicians to do? Pass mass gun confiscation legislation? Because 1.) That’s not realistic because we have a little something called the Second Amendment (look it up some time) and 2.) It would do absolutely NOTHING to prevent these tragedies. Please explain to me how taking guns away from good guys stops bad guys. I haven’t met one person who has been able to defend that idea. More “you better not” laws only stop good guys with guns from being able to respond to bad guys with guns quickly and accordingly.
This isn’t about inanimate objects. Reducing it to something so insignificant does a disservice to those who are grieving.
“Tell your buddies in congress — tell Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and Marco Rubio, all the ‘family men’ who care so much about their communities — that what we need are laws, real laws, that do everything possible to keep assault rifles out of the hands of people who are going to shoot our kids,” Kimmel said. “Go on TV and tell them to do that. That is a perfect example of the common sense you said you were going to bring to the White House. Tell these congressmen and lobbyists who infest that swamp you said you were going to drain, force these allegedly Christian men and women who stuff their pockets with money from the NRA year after year after year to do something now, not later.”
Wow Jimmy. “Allegedly Christian men and women”? That’s the narrative now? If you cherish your Second Amendment rights and acknowledge that there’s NO law that would’ve prevented this tragedy, you want children to die and are not really a Christian after all? (I wonder how Jimmy would feel if I applied that logic to “Christian” liberal abortion supporters.)
Props to Weepin’ Jimmy for advancing the #FakeNews NRA narrative. The NRA’s political activities (1998-2017) amounted to $200 million. Unions spent $1.7 BILLION on MOSTLY Democrats in 2016 alone. So take your political influence narrative and shove it.
Wanna get mad? Get mad at our culture. Get mad at the murderer. Get mad at the FBI for dropping the ball.
I absolutely adore Rush Limbaugh’s takedown. It’s a thing to behold.
There it is. “Do something, do something now!” This issue is not going to be solved on the Jimmy Kimmel show stage. This issue is not going to be solved by Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. And in most cases he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. “Force these allegedly Christian men and women who stuff their pockets with money from the NRA year after year after year.”
The NRA, yet again do I point out, is not a major American political contributor. Not nearly to the degree that Jimmy Kimmel thinks. He’s been lied to about it and he believes it. Again, in the last 20 years the NRA has spent $200 million on politics. In last year, the last year, the unions spent $1.7 billion. Planned Parenthood spends more money on politics than the NRA does.
“They’ve got to do something. They’ve got to do something.” Mr. Kimmel, there were all kinds of people that had the opportunity to stop this kid. The FBI was warned and didn’t do anything about it. There are any number of people who knew. It’s disgusting to learn what we knew, what law enforcement, what the FBI, what they knew about this guy and nobody did anything. And now all of a sudden it’s the Second Amendment’s fault? It’s the NRA’s fault?
This is my point, we have the mechanism in place to stop this now. But we are never going to solve it if we don’t get off this phony reality that’s portrayed here by people like Jimmy Kimmel. It is really time for adults to step up here. If protecting kids and the children is the objective here, then somebody else needs to take over, because the American media and the Democrat Party do not have a solution. They have things that are going to advance themselves politically, but they do not have a solution.
The solution to this is not found in a new gun law. There isn’t a single gun law on the books that would have stopped this. There isn’t a new gun law that would stop this. We’re talking about criminal behavior. We don’t have any defensive measures in place. Schools are buck naked when it comes to defensive measures to protect against things like this.
This is my favorite part.
Airplanes are not naked. Sporting events are not naked. This is what our country has become, and sitting there and trying to advance a political agenda at the expense of Trump, Republicans, NRA, is woefully immature and it’s dangerous because it isn’t solving anything. But this is the real pièce de résistance, this next Kimmel bite. And he’s not alone in this one. This is just outrageous, here it is.
It’s common sense.
Of course, Kimmel didn’t stop there.
“You like to say this is a mental health issue, but one of your very first acts as President, Mr. Trump, was to actually roll back the regulations that were designed to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill. You did that,” he said. “Your party voted to repeal the mandates on coverage for mental health. So I agree, this is a mental illness issue, because if you don’t think we need to do something about it, you’re obviously mentally ill.”
That’s 100% FAKE NEWS.
That is flat out incorrect and untrue. Donald Trump did not claim or remove Obama restrictions on the mentally ill in terms of getting guns. That did not happen. And furthermore, it has been debunked, a year ago. It has been debunked. It has been exposed as a lie. But Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t know it because the source for his information is obviously some partisan Democrat’s office informing him so his monologue writers can put together this gibberish.
The accusation that a bill designed to remove restrictions and allow the mentally ill to buy guns was passed by the Republicans and signed by Trump has long ago been debunked. Here’s what was removed. The rule that was removed would have allowed bureaucrats within one of our federal agencies to bar American citizens from exercising a constitutional right on the highly questionable grounds that to be incapable of managing one’s finance is by definition to be mentally defective.
So it wasn’t just about guns. There was a regulation that would bar American citizens from exercising constitutional rights and mentally defective was defined as being incapable of managing one’s own finances. The Republicans came in and said, “You can’t define mental illness that way.” Simply saying somebody can’t manage their own finances. I mean, you’re going to deny them their constitutional right. So they ripped it out. There’s never been a provision that says the mentally ill will no longer be allowed to buy guns and it was ripped out. That was never in existence. It was never a part of any law.
The Democrats and the media are totally lying and making this up. It has been debunked for over a year and they keep using it. Kimmel’s not the only one that’s been beclowned and fooled by this. And the NRA didn’t even support this. And yet they’re being lumped in here as guilty. You know who supported it? The ACLU. And the American Association of People With Disabilities, they supported this. A bunch of leftists supported the Obama rule.
Yep. I know a few older people who have help managing their finances, and they’re not mentally ill. THAT’S why Republicans rolled that rule back. Shame on Jimmy for touting more blatant FAKE NEWS.
Jimmy is yet another example of an angry, misinformed lib whose only contribution to the country is making everything 10x WORSE.
Shame on him.
