Well, folks, it looks like the king of the late-night virtue signalers is back on his throne. Yes, Jimmy Kimmel has returned to air after a break—parent company Disney, where apparently the lines of what’s acceptable are as clear as mud. Kimmel’s sin? Spitting on the metaphorical grave of the late Charlie Kirk, then refusing to serve up the apology platter we’d ordered. Instead, he delivered a monologue that tiptoed around the issue like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Kimmel claims he never intended to make a mockery of Kirk’s tragic death. Yet there he was, cracking jokes faster than he’d apologize. In an impressive act of selective hearing, he suggests his words were misunderstood, as if he’s the Shakespeare of snark. And for those upset by this—not to worry! Kimmel assures them he has friends on “the other side.” How heartwarming! Nothing screams goodwill like hollow platitudes while glossing over the far-left extremist who took Kirk’s life.
Meanwhile, as liberals celebrated Charlie Kirk’s demise like it was the Fourth of July, Kimmel’s sidekick shrug included no mention of the LGBTQ ideology mixed up in the shooter’s motives. Of course, apologizing isn’t in Kimmel’s job description. Being a leftist court jester means never saying you’re sorry, unless it’s to camouflaged-admit they’re right. But when a conservative dares to say something edgy, it’s to the guillotine with them!
Even more hilarious is the ensuing circus when another liberal zealot fired bullets at a TV station to avenge Kimmel’s “plight.” The shooter was reeled in, only to be tossed back with a slap on the wrist—because why enforce laws when you can make them instead, right? Kudos to Cash Patel and the FBI for dusting off the books and snagging the shooter on federal charges—a rare moment of sanity in the ever-looney California.
And what of the esteemed Hollywood elites and their political soapbox festival at the Emmys? Remarkably mute on Kirk’s assassination. Is it that they didn’t have their political notes ready? Or was it that Kirk wasn’t on their “approved list”? Rest assured, if a darling of the left met such a fate, it would dominate the ceremony louder than their last environmental “climate change” plea.
Lastly, we’ve got Theo Vaughn, the TikTok-entertainer-turned-political-pawn, who flung a white flag at the left when his clip was used by the Department of Homeland Security. Vaughn’s apology tour, decrying the portrayal of his meme in deportation videos, sets the course straight: it’s a parade of fear over principle. But let’s not kid ourselves, in a land where banishment applies more to free speech than illegal immigration, what else could be expected? Bravo, Vaughn.
Oh, the saga of the political left: never a dull moment in this comedy of errors.
