The way Jimmy Kimmel sees it, the world is burning after Tuesday night.
The longtime late-night host and card-carrying liberal pontificated
on the repercussions of President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning victory Tuesday night,
declaring it a “terrible night” for everyone from immigrants to women and journalists.
Kimmel, 56, fought back tears as he tried his best to put on a happy face
for his audience who dutifully nodded along while applauding his sentiments.
“Let’s be honest: it was a terrible night last night. It was a terrible
night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants who make this country go.
Um…” he paused, letting the shakes in his voice pass as his audience tried
to rouse him with cheers. “For healthcare, for our climate, for science, for journalism,
for justice, for free speech. It was a terrible night for poor people,
for the middle class, for seniors who rely on Social Security. For our allies in Ukraine.
