It's well known that Jimmy Kimmel has given up on the funny and went all-in on "Trump, what an idiot, amirite" snark. It's also common knowledge that Hollywood types are largely out of touch with people outside their ideological bubble.
Which leads us to today's unfunny and bordering on sociopathic bit that was actually broadcast to the world.
Kimmel describes how his producers are in love with the UnitedHealth murderer: “I would visit him in prison! And bake him cookies, maybe. Perhaps more …“

If your stomach can handle it, go ahead and watch. If not, the gist of it is that his producers were exchanging messages about how hot Luigi Mangione, you know, the guy who murdered a health insurance CEO, is.
The left has shown their bloodthirsty side as witnessed by reactions ranging from "I don't care, he was a bad person" to "good, he got what was coming to him." We assume these are the people who make up Kimmel's staff and echo chamber. How else would you imagine this bit made it to broadcast?
Twitter was not amused.

Upsettingly, "some quarters" are academia, the news media and entertainment.

Maybe Kimmel isn’t the best judge of character … just saying.

Maybe.
Kimmel is the Biden of late night. Dim, insecure, malleable. Nothing but a conduit.

Prog producers can reliably feed the farthest left narrative to the base through him.
It's like a sewage pipeline but with car commercials.
The guy who cried because he thinks people are going to get hurt under Trump is happy that the right people are getting hurt.

What a stable man.
The term is "hypocrite".

There's that word again.
As Democrat elitists openly praise the murder of an innocent man in broad daylight, maybe more people will consider what they are willing to do to YOU if they have power and you dissent.

They're not even hiding it anymore.

Phil asked Grok to explain the situation. (We don't know if that is what happened but we do like the picture.)
It's one thing to be surrounded by ghouls who celebrate the senseless murder of an innocent man in deference to their own Jacobite delusions. It's quite another to experience no sense of shame at all in that. https://t.co/7DU25Phk8S

Well said.
Remember that time Johnny Carson defended a murderer? Me either. In a sane world, this would end Kimmel's career. https://t.co/oSrZi7UZEp

This is what we lost: not only the class and humor of Carson, but more importantly, the sense of decency and humanity. They'd love to put it all on Trump, but they haven't proven to be much better.
