During his Wednesday night show, Jimmy Kimmel explained why polio and Russian President Vladimir Putin were the big winners of the 2024 election.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has been a fierce critic of Donald Trump, to the point that he read out a mean tweet from the former President while hosting the Oscars. And despite threats from Trump that he could go after political enemies, Kimmel has not held back his anger.
The host began his show last night by saying, "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 continued:
"It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on Social Security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO and democracy and decency. And it was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him. And guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too. You just don’t realize it yet.
Kimmel then moved onto the people who had truly benefitted from Trump's reelection, saying, "it was a really good night for Putin and for polio and for lovable billionaires like Elon Musk, and the bros up in Silicon Valley, and all the wriggling brain worms who sold what was left of their souls to bow down to Donald Trump."
