NextImg:Jimmy Kimmel Gets Choked Up Over “Terrible” Night Trump Won: “It Was A Bad Night For Everyone Who Voted For Him Too, They Just Don’t Know It Yet”

Jimmy Kimmel was moved to tears during his opening monologue Wednesday (Nov. 6) night after Donald Trump once again clinched the presidency.

Kimmel kicked off the broadcast on a lighthearted, and almost encouraging note, with a skit that showed him packing up his office to leave the country. “You heard him, he has a list of enemies, you think I’m not on that list?” he asked his sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez.

But the monologue took an emotional turn when Kimmel became choked up as he mourned what a “terrible night” it was for democracy.

“Let’s be honest it was terrible night last night. It was a terrible night for women, for children, for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who make this country go,” he said as tears began to well in his eyes.

“For health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech,” he continued through his tears. “It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on social security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO.”

He concluded his message with a message to Trump’s supporters, as well, noting, “It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him. And guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him, too. They just don’t realize it yet.”

But Kimmel wasn’t the only person who reportedly had a bad night. “It was an absolute disaster of a night for Melania,” he joked.

Despite the results of the election, the late night host added that this doesn’t mean we “storm the capitol because we don’t like the result.”

“I’ve been trying to come up with something positive. The best I can come up with is we’ve been through this once before and yes, this time it’ll probably be worse, maybe a lot worse, but I also think that maybe we will look back and realize in the long run this is what we needed to wake us up,” he told viewers.

But he reached a rather blunt conclusion regarding how he feels about Trump’s re-election: “Maybe the good part in all of this is he can’t run again in 2028.”
