Cancel Jimmy Kimmel? 13 celebrity tweets about comedian Donald Trump called unfunny

Many Americans now want to boycott Jimmy Kimmel because of several things he did in the past. He is accused of using the N-word in an imitation Snoop Dogg song in 1996, mocking Megan Fox‘s teenage sexual assault in 2009 and impersonating comic George Wallace in 2013.

Both Dogg and Wallace are African-American. Fox is of Irish, French and Native American descent.

Kimmel is known for being a staunch critic of Donald Trump. The 45th president of the United States took to Twitter on June 22, 2020 to clarify that he does not support punishing comedians for their jokes but he criticized the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host and executive producer nonetheless.

To be clear, I’m 100% against punishing comedians for jokes, even bad jokes from unfunny hack comedians like Jimmy Kimmel…but according to the left’s own woke rules that @jimmykimmel wants to force others to live by, it’s hard to see how @ABCNetwork allows him to keep his show. https://t.co/yYsC065pe1

Jimmy Kimmel is a hypocritical hack. And all the same people who hate cancel culture and joke policing are hypocritical hacks when they try to get him fired. Just be consistent in your principles for once ffs.

4. talk show host Joseph John “Joe Pags” Pagliarulo

You ever notice that many of those who have put themselves into the fore of the #Woke culture are the ones with most to hide? @jimmykimmel took a LONG time off. My bet is he never comes back. If you're not up on this.. not only #blackface but Nword a lot.

They bleeped the word. If you bleep the word that the whole story is about, what's the point of including the audio in the article?

6. director and producer Robby Starbuck

I’m not surprised Jimmy Kimmel said the N word multiple times. I’ve directed tons of celebrities. Been to the parties, been in their trailers and been on set with them. The truth: The loudest woke voices in public are some of the most screwed up people you can imagine in private.

7. author and Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness (FLAG) founder and president Nick Adams

Jimmy Kimmel is a RACIST fraud who used the N-word multiple times in a recently released video.

Let’s give Jimmy a taste of his own medicine and cancel his awful show!#CancelKimmel

Has anyone noticed—everyone who has been caught in blackface is a leftist:

—Sarah Silverman
—Ted Danson
—Gigi Hadid
—Julianne Hough

Maybe Republicans aren't the problem here?

On June 18, 2020, Kimmel announced on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that he will take a break for some months. His friend Matt Damon appeared in the episode.

“I’ve been doing this job for almost 18 years,” Kimmel said. “I’ve done 3,130 shows and there’s nothing wrong.”

“My family is healthy,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host continued. “I’m healthy. I just need a couple of months off.”

Kimmel has yet to respond to the campaign to boycott him. He is expected to host the 72nd Emmy Awards on September 20, 2020, which will mark the third time he is hosting the awards ceremony.
