On Wednesday night, Jimmy Kimmel broke the news that President Trump had been impeached in the House of Representatives – for the second time – with a vote of 232-197, because of his incitement to a violent and seditious takeover of the Capitol from United States.
“Unlike the first, this was a bipartisan impeachment,” said Kimmel during his evening monologue. “Every Democrat [representative], and a handful of Republicans – ten of them in the House – voted to expel Trump in protest for his role in organizing, mobilizing and encouraging the violent attack on them last week. These people attacked them, they tried to get the vice president, they tried to prevent our election, and these holes today were like, ‘This is another political attack on our president!’ “
Kimmel, of course, was referring to the many Republicans who did not vote for impeachment, opting for allegiance to a former dishonest reality show host and accusing a serial rapist out of love for the country. “Your president has given a big – I mean little – thumbs up to an army of idiots marching down the street, kicking doors, killing a police officer and spreading his feces all over his office. And most of these Republicans are like, ‘Well, the office did need a refreshment. A little color on the walls is good! ‘”The comedian laughed.
But despite his decision, Trump made history. “Donald Trump becomes the first president of the United States to face two charges. I wonder if he is tired of all the victories already? ”Joked Kimmel. “Whatever they have said and done to support him in the past, I want to commend the House Republicans who voted to hold Trump accountable. It is a real act of courage – and should be treated as such. It is not just a political risk. These Trump nuts will come to their house!
“But for the rest of them, it’s always a surprise to see how crazy some of our elected officials are. And that was totally on display today as they supported their sad orange man. ”
Kimmel then cut to a montage of Republican members of Congress invoking everyone from Kathy Griffin and Madonna to Robert De Niro in their unconvincing attempts to divert attention from the president’s failure to fulfill his office’s sworn duties.
