WHAT DO EXPECT FROM LITTLE JIMMITY CRICKET. HE DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, SO HE FOCUSES ON THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. IT MAKES HIM FEEL WANTED, IN HIS WIERD LITTLE WAY.
This ill-mannered, stray joking clown, undoubtedly deserves to be fired. Ephesians 6:12
“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places”
KIMMEL IS A IDOIT. HE SHOULD BE FIRED.
Jimmy is a clown wishing death on someone’s father & husband. He nv made jokes like that before
Kimmel was always a douchebag…he says shit just to stay relevant as he has no real talent
lmao the same people that said “all lives matter” is racist are pretending that calling someone an expectant widow isn’t celebrating/supporting violence
He’s a disgrace, and right on the heels of Charlie Kirk. How much more evidence does ABC and Disney need to see this mans’ true underpinnings? Boycott all of them, ABC, Disney, any and every product or service advertised by ABC, Disney, or on the sicko’s broadcast. To the American public I say, you have the power to make change when change would not otherwise happen, you stand as a pinnacle of what many other people and countries do not have. If you find this man and what he stands for unacceptable, wield your power, boycotting when done properly will end it all. Use your power. Send a message.
