Jimmy Kimmel Absolutely Destroys Trump Supporters in the Best Way Possible
I love me some Jimmy Kimmel. I think he’s hysterical and while I wasn’t a fan of him back when he did The Man Show with Adam Carolla, I think he’s grown and learned a lot and has really come into his own as a comic.
And last Friday, Kimmel exposed the hypocrisy of some Donald Trump supporters in South Carolina with his “Debate and Switch” segment. And it was hysterical.
“We asked people who identified themselves as supporters of Donald Trump for their take on some of Joe Biden’s more controversial actions and quotes. But what we didn’t tell them, at first, is that what we said wasn’t from Joe Biden. It was actually from Donald Trump,” the late-night host said as he prepared the clip.
Kimmel’s crew asked Trump voters for their views on Biden’s (but actually Trump’s) suggestion that COVID could be cured with bright lights being shone inside the body, that not catching HIV in the 1980s was his personal Vietnam and more.
And as you’d expect, they each predictably slammed the current president.

But they had a wildly different opinion upon learning that Republican 2024 front-runner and adjudicated rapist Trump ― and not Biden ― had actually done those things.
This is incredible:
When trump supporters were told that Joe Biden did something trump actually did, they denounced him.
When told it was actually trump who did it, they immediately made excuses.
Jimmy Kimmel is BRILLIANT. 😂👏pic.twitter.com/UJ8LW3Ib2a

People on Twitter (I just can’t call in “X”) had a field day:
Just further proof that MAGA is a cult and nothing else

MAGA = CULT!
There's no reasoning with these people!

Do they even listen to themselves? They have to have been reading a script. Please tell me that this was scripted! 😬

I watched it and couldn’t believe what I saw. They went from made up outlandish rhetoric about President Biden to adoring excuse making magas without blinking an eye.

I thought that was brilliant, instantly it shows how sick they are🤣🤣 we will need institutions for these people, because if they can not acknowledge that trump did something wrong it shows that they are not in reality and willing to live in a alternate reality.

It's amazing how people's reactions can change depending on who is being accused. Jimmy Kimmel really nailed it with this one!

It’s not like we didn't already know that they'll defend their orange overlord no matter what he does. #TrumpCult
And let's not forget the irony of Kimmel, a wealthy, white man with a massive platform, pretending to be some kind of progressive hero for dunking on Trump…
