Jimmy Kimmel Says 'Repulsive' Left Voices Drive Voters Away from Democrats

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who campaigned for Democrats in 2024, has criticized certain 'loud voices' within the Democratic Party for driving people away by exhibiting 'repulsive' and 'incredibly elitist' attitudes, despite the party's claims of inclusivity. On the 'Sarah Silverman Podcast,' Kimmel and Silverman discussed how cancel culture persists on the left, with some progressives shunning former Trump supporters who now regret their vote, like Joe Rogan. Kimmel emphasized that these vocal progressives are not representative of the majority but create an unwelcoming atmosphere that scares people from expressing their views or even making jokes. He further suggested that manufactured outrage from such liberals contributed to President Donald Trump's election. The discussion also referenced the recent cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show, with Trump predicting that Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon could be next. Social media responses to Kimmel's remarks have been mixed, with some applauding his critique of the Democratic Party's direction.
