Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart criticized President-elect Trump and Republican leaders for their response to the wildfires in Los Angeles, despite neither party being in charge of California's government. The comedians made no mention of California's Democratic leaders and made unfounded accusations against Trump.
Late-night comedians Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart used their shows on Monday to attack President-elect Donald Trump and Republican leaders over the raging fires in Los Angeles — even though neither Trump nor the GOP is in charge of the Democrat-controlled county or state.
During their respective broadcasts, the comedians made no mention of California’s Democrat leaders who are ultimately responsible for managing the unfolding catastrophe. “And tonight, I don’t want to get into all the vile and irresponsible and stupid things our alleged future President and his gaggle of scumbags chose to say during our darkest and most terrifying hour,” he said. “The fact that they chose to attack our firefighters, who apparently aren’t white enough to be out there, risking their lives on our behalf, is it’s disgusting. But it’s not surprising.”
“That is psychotic. There’s something wrong with you,” Stewart said. “And here’s the thing — I can dothing and run down all the Congresspeople and senators on the right calling for conditions on disaster aid that absolutely had the opposite view when it was their state on the line.”“You know who’s not helping? Congressional Republicans, because they want strings attached to California fire aid,” the comedian said Monday, eliciting boo’s from the studio audience.
