Jimmy Kimmel didn’t mince words during his opening monologue Wednesday night as he discussed the far-right mob that invaded the U.S. Capitol building. He didn’t just go after the terrorists who occupied the Capitol all day — he also went after the Republicans in the government who incited them to violence.
“It was a terrible day in the history of this country. Our President and the scumbags who have kept this ‘stolen election’ charade going — and that’s you, Josh Hawley, that’s you, Ted Cruz — either intentionally or just wildly irresponsibly lit these fires to start a war just to distract us from the fact that Donald Trump lost the election,” Kimmel said.
