ABC welcomed actor Alan Cumming to guest host one episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, but even that was one episode too many. Cumming decided to unwittingly prove why late night is dying when he claimed the U.S. has brought back concentration camps and that in the Trump Era, trans people are real-life superheroes while suggesting women who object to the loss of their female-only spaces are being unreasonable.

Towards the end of his speech, Cumming tried to cite Jesus as his political ally: “Even as an atheist, I am a big fan of Jesus, I really am. I mean, what's not to like? A tall, gorgeous man with great abs and flowing hair, getting his feet washed by prostitutes, and encouraging people to love their neighbors all the while slaying in a loose caftan. And Jesus was an immigrant, by the way, let's not forget.”
He continued, “Jesus would have loved trans people. He changed water into wine! Is that not itself an act of transition? And you know how I know Jesus would've loved trans people? Because he loved people. He loved all people. And so of course he would love trans people and all queer people. I mean, Jesus was followed around at all times by 12 hot single guys, all of them also sporting caftans.”
