Jimmy Kimmel Wants You to Send This to Your Dad
Forward this late-night monologue to the Trump fan in your life and watch them change their ways before your eyes. Or something.
Jimmy Kimmel told his studio audience that he was going to do something a little different on October 30: a monologue specifically meant to be sent to the Republican in your life, urging them to not vote for Donald Trump in next week’s presidential election. It’s a pretty self-aware olive-branch moment, although, he immediately follows it up by saying that if you’re watching this, it could be because “you’re just open-minded and not afraid to hear somebody who might not agree with you,” which unfortunately plays right into right-wing ideas of Democrats as condescending and existing within an echo chamber of their own. He ends by listing off a bunch of Establishment Republicans who have refused to endorse Trump this election and bringing out his sidekick, Guillermo, an immigrant who became an American citizen.
