Jimmy Kimmel: Libs "Attacking Comedians" Over Jokes Is A "Big Reason" Trump Is President

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel has a theory about how Trump won the 2024
election. In his opinion, it came down to comedians being �canceled� for
telling funny jokes.

The 57-year-old celebrity shared his opinion during a newly published
interview with Rolling Stone.

�I don�t put limits on what I laugh at,� Kimmel said. �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.�

The comedian expanded on what he meant, mentioning how he thought people were
fed up with being told what they were allowed to think was funny.

�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,�� he said.

Kimmel went on, �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.�

He also mentioned his intention of continuing to focus on President Trump
during his nightly monologues. �It was 2016, and I had Hillary Clinton on,�
he told the outlet. �I said to Hillary during a commercial break, �I hope
Trump gets the nomination. I think he�ll be a slam-dunk for you.� And she
said, �Be careful what you wish for.� I�m not in the group of people who
thought he might win. Listen, when O.J. was found not guilty, I was just
absolutely shocked. I had that same feeling.�

�I had this faith in America that was shaken, and I still am not over it,�
Kimmel said. �I thought that when it comes down to it, this country, we do
the right thing. That�s obviously in the past.�
