Jimmy Kimmel Skewers Democrats Over Harris Fundraising Emails Weeks After Defeat

Jimmy Kimmel, the outspoken host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, unleashed a blistering critique of Democrats for flooding inboxes with fundraising appeals on behalf of Kamala Harris, weeks after her crushing defeat to Donald Trump. During his November 18 monologue, Kimmel expressed disbelief over receiving six emails in one weekend, including pleas to donate to the “Harris Fight Fund Program.” With characteristic sarcasm, he quipped, “I’m pretty sure there’s been a better time to ask for donations,” comparing the efforts to Blockbuster chasing late fees for VHS tapes.

The comedian didn’t stop there, mocking the campaign’s branding and their explanation that funds were meant for the Democratic National Committee, not just Harris. He joked about how they should follow Trump’s merchandising playbook with items like “Kamala Harris golden high tops” before pivoting to poke fun at President Biden’s bizarre exit into the Amazon rainforest after a recent speech. Wrapping up, Kimmel revisited his emotional reaction to Election Day, calling it “a terrible night” for democracy, science, and justice. Despite his frustrations, Kimmel’s sharp humor kept the audience laughing through the sting of political losses.
