Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel reached across the pond to deliver an anti-Trump message to the United Kingdom on Christmas.
Kimmel told the Brits on Channel 4 that “tyranny is booming” in the United States, per Fox News.
Kimmel was chose selected to give the Channel 4’s annual “Alternative Christmas Message.” This is a counter-programming speech that airs opposite the BBC’s traditional Royal Christmas message.
“I do know what’s going on over here though, and I can tell you that, from a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year,” Kimmel said. “Tyranny is booming over here.”
He said the audience may have read in the newspaper “my country’s president would like to shut me up because I don’t adore him in the way he likes to be adored.” He added the United States government “made a threat against me and the company I work for, and all of a sudden we were off the air.”
“But then, you know what happened?” Kimmel asked. “A Christmas miracle happened. Well, it was September, it was a September miracle. But the holiday does seem to come earlier and earlier every year, doesn’t it? Millions and millions of people stood up and said: ‘No, this is not acceptable.'”
