ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel may have the week off on TV, but that didn’t stop him from repeating one of his favorite lines about supporters of President Trump’s agenda being bad Christians and wondering how they can go to church. This time the conversation revolved around deporting illegal immigrants and took place on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast that was released on Wednesday but taped before Kimmel got himself suspended for remarks about the political affiliation of Charlie Kirk’s assassin.
Actor and host Ted Danson gushed over his guest, “And then the courage you have to take on things that are just wrong and people, some of us, you know, are trying to look the other way. And you look directly at it, and you go after it, whether it's this administration or what. And that courage is really admirable. I really admire you.”
Kimmel thanked Danson for the sentiment while adding, “It especially bothers me, you know, being brought up Catholic in a very positive Catholic environment that Christianity is — has been co-opted and perverted in such a way, and that I find especially upsetting, and that I think about what Jesus would think of this stuff, you know, and I mean, seems pretty plain that he wouldn't think it's great that he wouldn't approve of nannies being yanked out of the park and thrust into a van to be returned to their home countries because their paperwork is not in order.”
