Jimmy Kimmel, like a sugar-addicted child who can’t keep his grubby hand out of the cookie jar, couldn’t help himself Thursday.
A good chunk of America doesn’t much like Kimmel anymore, especially President Donald Trump and his supporters. There was a time when he was funny and entertaining before Trump became president for the first time, but that time is long gone.
On Christmas Day, he took his irrelevant message to the masses of Britain because no one in America really cares what he has to say.
In a four-minute rant to Britain’s Channel 4, a public broadcast network that airs a Christmas Day message from a plebeian as a counterpart to the monarch’s televised address, Kimmel continued to blame Trump for his suspension in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and hate on America.

“I honestly have no idea what’s going on over there. I do know what’s going on over here, though, and I can tell you that from a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year. Tyranny is booming over here,” Kimmel said. “You may have read in your colorful newspapers, my country’s president would like to shut me up because I don’t adore him in the way he likes to be adored.”

Despite zero evidence that Trump was personally involved in the decision, Kimmel continued to attribute his suspension to authoritarian pressure, even referring to the president as King Donny VIII.
“And the reason I’m telling you this story is because maybe you’re thinking, ‘oh, a government silencing its critics is something that happens in places like Russia or North Korea or LA, not the UK.’ Well, that’s what we thought, and now we’ve got King Donny VIII calling for executions. It happens fast,” Kimmel said.
And, in what might be the most shameless part of his tirade, Kimmel groveled to British viewers and urged them to give America three years to make things right.

The delicious irony here is that no matter how far Kimmel thinks America has slid into authoritarianism under Trump 2.0, we still have a robust First Amendment, unlike the United Kingdom. And, because they have no First Amendment, the U.K. citizens have been subjected to a new censorship regime. In the U.K., if you post something deemed offensive by the government, you might find yourself behind bars.
At the very least, Kimmel could have celebrated America and our Constitution for enshrining our right to free speech. It is such a rare right, a historical anomaly, that we have laws that protect freedom of speech. Every day, Kimmel and his fellow Resistance liberals are free to criticize Trump and his administration, online and on-air; they are free to make jokes, albeit lame ones, about any cabinet official or the Vice President. They have that right, even if they don’t actually appreciate it. The Brits do not.
For Kimmel to bash America for a country that effectively has no free speech is why we have all come to loathe celebrities-turned-political-activists: they are deeply ignorant and ungrateful, and their message is so obnoxious that they have to take it abroad because it sounds too absurd for all of us here.
