Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel literally cried on Wednesday over Donald Trump winning the 2024 election, claiming it was a “terrible day” for all Americans, even for those who voted for Trump.
Kimmel, along with other late-night hosts, is an ardent anti-Trumper who routinely mocks the former, and future, president in mean-spirited monologues and sketches.
“It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants who make this country go, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech,” Kimmel said through tears to his liberal audience in Hollywood.
“I’ve been trying to come up with something positive, the best I can come up with is we’ve been through this once before and yes this time it’s probably gonna be worse, maybe a lot worse,” Kimmel amped up the dramatics.
The host went on to take some not-so-subtle shots at Trump’s supporters, too, like suggesting they lack “common sense” and are ignorant or stupid
“I’m disappointed, I know a lot of you are too,” he said. “I thought common sense would prevail. I’m so stupid, I always think it’s gonna but for a lot of people, this just isn’t important. It’s not high on their list.”
“It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what?” Kimmel continued. “It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too. You just don’t realize it yet.”
