Conservatives Livid After Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Donors To GoFundMe Page For Border Wall, ‘Dopey People!’
During Thursday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host took several shots at Donald Trump during his opening monologue.
It did not take long for Kimmel to begin mocking the people donating to the GoFundMe page set up to secure money for the border wall, claiming that “a lot of these people are dipping into their meth money for this.”
Kimmel began by talking about Trump’s upcoming vacation (if he gets to take it), where he remarked that “Mike Pence will be checked into a kennel and the President will jet to Mar-a-Lago.” Kimmel predicted that “this could be the last Christmas Don Jr. will be able to spend with his dad without being separated by a glass partition,” as the crowd erupted into laughter. After discussing the government shutdown, Kimmel informed his audience that Trump “might not need Mexico or Congress to pay for the wall at all because there are some very dopey people ready to pay for it themselves.”
Kimmel then explained how a Trump supporter named Brian Kolfage started a GoFundMe campaign dedicated to securing funding for the wall that had reached $9 million at the time of Thursday’s broadcast. Kimmel went on to mock the people who have donated to the campaign for “donating money for a wall that will never exist, it’s like starting a college fund for Harry Potter,” advising them that “a more useful thing to do with your money would be to go outside and feed it to a bird.”
Kimmel sarcastically added: “But you do have to admire the sacrifice they’re making. I mean, a lot of these people are dipping into their meth money for this.”

Jimmy Kimmel is a waste of oxygen. Move to another country coward you don’t deserve to live in mine. Your a coward behind a camera. Everything that comes out of your mouth is so ridiculous and un patriotic it makes me sick. You should be band from public speaking.
