Eric Swalwell and a handful of other Democrats gathered at the U.S. Capitol building on Friday to pay tribute to a champion of free speech. No, not the recently assassinated Charlie Kirk. They were there to elevate recently fired, MAGA-hating late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel. Swalwell was in charge and brought merch for his Dem buddies.
Let the cringe begin. (WATCH)
Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell hands out Jimmy Kimmel gear to House Democrats after the suspension of Kimmel’s show.

“Stand Up For Jimmy,” Swalwell said.

This is so cringe.

It’s Swalwell, did you expect anything less?

Cringe is his calling card.
Posters say the gathering only highlights how out of touch Democrats are.
Imagine coming up with this and actually thinking it is a good idea.

They are completely clueless.
Swalwell tries so hard to troll. He doesn't realize you've either 'got it' or you 'don't'. He's no Trump!

Democrats are incapable of reading the room, and are the least cool people in the country it seems.

They lack the ability to be genuine.

This is all so fake and performative.
I keep thinking he can’t out ick himself and then he says “hold my jimmy kimmel hat”
— MissChief Maga (@KimMac2002) September 19, 2025
We think he sets an ‘ick’ goal for each video adventure and sees if he can top it.
The murder of an American couldn’t move Democrats, but a failing TV talk show host getting justly fired stirred them to action.
This is the most passion I’ve seen Democrats put in years and it’s about a canceled show.

They’re more upset about Kimmel being fired than Charlie being murdered.

Evil people.
It's crazy how they think Jimmy Kimmel is MORE important to fight for than the death of a political opponent who's crime was talking to their side.
— Isaac (@IcedViews) September 19, 2025
Their priorities are a mess, much like the Democrat Party as a whole.
Posters have some final thoughts and observations.
They have no idea how ridiculous they look.

Made in… the same place as Eric’s last girlfriend

This is his priority? Not the millions of illegals ruining his state of California?
— Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 (@Bubblebathgirl) September 19, 2025
This is a pathetic sad show, Collin. Much like Jimmys.

I'd lay real money on none of them ever having seen a single episode of Kimmel's show, yet they act like it's a travesty that it was pulled.
— David Manch 🇺🇲 (@manch_david) September 19, 2025
all 6 people really made a difference.
— Florence (@NeuroSovereign) September 19, 2025
Ironically, that group there is slightly bigger than Jimmy's audience.

These politicians really had me fooled for too many years. There is nothing sincere about them.
— James Pierce (@whosthemaster) September 19, 2025
They’re as real as the Jimmy Kimmel Live! laugh track.
