Over the weekend, Jimmy Kimmel was among the many “Resistance” members of the media to share the fake news that VP Mike Pence’s delivered empty boxes of PPE to a nursing home. After getting busted, the late night unfunny man issued a non-apology for being a lying sack of crap. Now Kimmel is pulling a Jussie Smollett and claiming “MAGA hats” are sending death threats to him and his family. Well, he’s gotta do something to get people to watch his show and being entertaining is out of his skillset.
Here’s Kimmel lying about Mike Pence:

The unedited video showed that Pence was clearly joking and delivered full boxes. Busted, Kimmel offered this BS apology:
it would appear that @vp was joking about carrying empty boxes for a staged publicity stunt. The full video reveals that he was carrying full boxes for a staged publicity stunt. My apologies. I know how dearly this administration values truth. https://t.co/hI9cO4lxcX

Then on a more recent show, Kimmel continued his non-apology by claiming his life is now in danger from Trump supporters:
“Apologizing to the Trump administration for spreading untruth is like apologizing to Barry Bonds for using steroids. It’s hard. But the outrage from the MAGA hats, the outpouring of venom, was disgusting. Stupid too, but mostly disgusting. Some of these lunatics have the audacity to use the word Christian in their bios, but that didn’t stop them from wishing death on me, on my family, on my son,” claimed Kimmel.
Wishing death and threatening death are two different things. In either case, it’s weird how Kimmel didn’t show any screenshots of these death wishes/threats, isn’t it? If “MAGA hats” were actually threatening the life of him and his family, wouldn’t he want to expose these people?
“Some of them said they hope my son dies, they threatened my wife. There were hundreds of horrible, hateful, sometimes violent Twitter and Facebook posts because I showed what they called a doctored video,” said Kimmel.
No, seriously, he claims he took the time to read all of the “MAGA hat” bios, why didn’t get some screen grabs to call out the people he says threatened him and his family? Did he at least flag these posts and if so, where are the hundreds of accounts that were suspended on Twitter and Facebook for making violent threats?
These are all rhetorical questions because we all know Kimmel is lying. He didn’t get any threats, nobody even gives a shit about him. This is him trying excuse his jackassery by being an even bigger jackass. This is him begging for attention because literally no one is paying attention to him.
Kimmel finished up this non-apology by demanding an apology from President Trump:
“We would like an apology for separating thousands of migrant children from their parents, inviting the Taliban to Camp David, siding with Vladimir Putin over U.S. intelligence, calling Neo-nazis ‘very fine people,’ using campaign money to pay off a porn star, mocking a 16-year-old climate activist, mocking Christine Blasey Ford, obstruction of justice, ignoring warnings on coronavirus, downplaying the dangers of coronavirus, mishandling the coronavirus, we still don’t have tests for the coronavirus, why are we opening the country when we have no tests for coronavirus?” Kimmel said.
Much like Kimmel’s apology or talent, almost none of that stuff exists. Also, why does Kimmel say “we” demand this apology, like he speaks for the entire country? He only speaks for himself and he’s terrible at it like he is at comedy.
