Jimmy Kimmel’s scathing 19-minute monologue for Republicans – ‘Yes I am biased’

“Tonight’s monologue is for Republicans.

Among his numerous attacks against the former president, he admitted to “do a lot of mocking, and belittling, and it isn’t always productive.” Kimmel claimed that his plea may urge others to agree with him. “Do I think I have good reasons for being biased against him? Yes. And I’m probably wrong, but I think when you hear some of those reasons, you might agree with me even just a tiny bit,” he said of Trump.

Throughout the lengthy monologue, the comedian called out the GOP nominee for all that he has and has not done over the years. “Donald Trump was president for four years. You would think that at this point, he would have some answers, some kind of plan, for simple questions about subjects like health care and childcare,” he remarked.

Kimmel went on to state that the ex-prez should focus on things that do exist instead of fearmongering around the “imaginary problem” of forced sex change operations in elementary schools. “This is a lie; you have to know this,” he said, adding, “You do know this. This is not real. The president should be focused on things that are actually things.”

At one point, Kimmel pointed out Trump’s legal woes, arguing, “Not to mention the 34 felony convictions. Will he be president from jail? I mean, how do you see that working?” Continuing his attacks on him, the comedian shared that he “saw a shirt the other day, it said, ‘I support Trump because he pisses off the people who piss me off.’” “But is that really all we want for America? To piss each other off? I don’t want that.”
