Jimmy Kimmel's response was among the most dramatic and publicly embarrassing. Known for his partisan stances and past controversies, including a controversial blackface skit, Kimmel took to the airwaves to tearfully break down over the election results. He railed against the outcome, claiming it was a terrible night for women, children, immigrants, the environment, healthcare, and many other aspects of American life. His monologue was saturated with hyperbole and condescension, implying that the average American voter simply doesn’t understand what they’re supporting—a patronizing attitude that further alienates viewers.
