Jimmy Kimmel, veteran late-night talk show host and famous opposer of Donald Trump, has once again fired shots at the two-time president for his stance on mail-in voting. In his latest on-stage monologue, the 58-year-old comedian called out Trump’s hypocrisy for criticizing postal voting, despite indulging in it, before comparing him to alleged sex offender Bill Cosby.
Jimmy Kimmel slams Donald Trump for in-mail voting
During the March 24 episode of his talk show, the veteran comedian blasted the POTUS for going back on his rhetoric on mail-in voting by comparing his credibility to that of Bill Cosby, specifically when it comes to maintaining the sanctity of elections.
Jimmy Kimmel started the latest Jimmy Kimmel Live! episode by quipping that Donald Trump has been focused on uprooting “the most heinous crime of all: putting your ballots in a mailbox.”
The host then showcased a clip of the President from a March 23 press event in Memphis, wherein the latter had said, “It’s been brought to my attention today that we’re the only country that does mail-in voting. Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating.”
After playing the video, Kimmel noted that Trump “prefers in-person cheating, preferably with a p**n star shortly after his wife gives birth,” referring to his alleged controversy with adult content creator Stormy Daniels. He subsequently revealed that, despite his qualms about mail-in ballots, Trump had participated in Tuesday’s special election in Palm Beach County, Florida, by voting by mail.
“He’s unbelievable,” Jimmy Kimmel remarked, adding, “Donald Trump claiming he wants to protect election integrity is like Bill Cosby telling you he’ll watch your drink for you.” The seasoned TV personality also mocked the President’s “weird hatred” of windmills by stating, “Next, we’re going to find out that his blow dryer is powered by a windmill or something.”
Notably, Donald Trump has long been gunning to get his SAVE America Act approved. It would not only put heavy regulations on mail-in voting but would also require individuals to produce documentary proof of their United States citizenship before they can cast their votes.
