Like best late-night comedians, Jimmy Kimmel has been politically-charged aback President Trump took office, but in contempo months he has morphed from actuality an amateur to actuality an activist.
His alteration began in May afterwards he aggregate his deeply-personal adventure about his son’s open-heart anaplasty that became a ablution pad for his alarm for what he basically declared was accepted bloom care.
“Before 2014, if you were built-in with complete affection disease, like my son was, there was a acceptable adventitious you’d never be able to get bloom allowance because you had a above-mentioned condition. You were built-in with a above-mentioned condition,” he said. “No ancestor should anytime acquire to adjudge if they can allow to save their child’s life. If your babyish is activity to die and it doesn’t acquire to, it shouldn’t amount how abundant money you make. Whether you’re a Republican or Democrat or commodity else, we all accede on that.”
Kimmel’s abode instantly went viral and alike aggressive Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) to set a “Kimmel Test” accepted for any Obamacare abolition and alter efforts. But tensions grew aback Kimmel continuously airtight Cassidy’s bloom affliction bill until it died in the Senate late aftermost month.

Then afterwards the Las Vegas massacre, Kimmel gave an affecting appeal for gun control, calling out the “people who vote with the NRA.” He alike attacked his critics by adage they “bear some responsibility” that “almost anyone can get any weapon they want.”
Of course, liberals acclaimed his advocacy. CNN afresh alleged him “America’s conscience.”
Give me a break!
While Chuck Schumer was agriculture Kimmel talking points, the catching of animal aggravation in Hollywood hit a baking point afterwards blur mogul Harvey Weinstein was apparent for bloodthirsty on endless women for decades.

Kimmel and his late-night colleagues were afraid to abode the aspersion aftermost anniversary aback it broke. Neither did Saturday Night Live.
On Monday, they had no best but to abode it. Stephen Colbert mocked Weinstein. Jimmy Fallon had a one-liner. Seth Meyers had changeable writers buzz Weinstein’s apology.
But Kimmel did commodity different. Instead of activity afterwards Weinstein directly, he acclimated a Twitter altercation he had with Donald Trump Jr. and spent best of his time biting him and his ancestor than on the growing scandal. It was as if the aspersion was an afterthought, like it didn’t absolutely amount to him.
Since Monday, Kimmel hasn’t mentioned Weinstein on his show. To be fair, the added comedians haven’t focused on him abundant either, but they’d still able a antic or two at his expense. Meanwhile, the altercation has grown. Between Weinstein actuality accused of abduction and added high-profile accusers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie coming forward, the aspersion has rocked Hollywood like a Hurricane Harvey. And it has sparked alike added controversies, with abundant individuals from Kathie Lee Gifford and Terry Crews administration their own animal aggravation belief to others like Ben Affleck actuality accused of dark women (which he sheepishly apologized for… 14 years later). And it’s not aloof affecting Hollywood. Democrats acquire been active afraid aback they’ve taken bags of dollars from Weinstein over the years and Hillary Clinton and the Obamas were airtight for not commenting on the altercation sooner. And now NBC News is actuality accused of accoutrement up the adventure afterwards its anchorman Ronan Farrow took the adventure to The New Yorker. The Weinstein aspersion has become an barrage and there is no adumbration area it will stop.

Which begs the question: where’s Kimmel’s outrage? Isn’t he declared to be the “moral compass” of our generation? Why isn’t he abode a breach for any of Weinstein’s victims?
It has become bright that he would rather abode America and advance his own political calendar than abode the problems accident in his own backyard. He cries that anybody should acquire bloom affliction and that accoutrements are the botheration after accouterment any absolute solutions, yet he’s bashful on the out-of-control corruption women acquire faced in showbiz for years. Perhaps it’s because he doesn’t appetite to abashment any of his accompany like Affleck or Matt Damon, who was accused of allowance coffin the aspersion aback in 2004. Or maybe it’s because Kimmel has his own history of objectifying women.
Sexual aggravation is a botheration all over the place, but it’s animate and able-bodied in Hollywood. They pretend to be a agglomeration of accelerating feminists who cascade their behavior to Middle America. In absolute life, it’s a amaranthine adventure of Mad Men. In the accomplished week, we’ve abstruse the abominable things Weinstein has done over the years (and I’m abiding we’ll apprentice added in the canicule and weeks to come). Frankly, he’s authoritative Bill Cosby attending like Dr. Huxtable. And we all apperceive Weinstein isn’t the alone creep. Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly have already been outed at Fox News, but there are affluence of animal predators still adrift the streets of LA, application their ability to dispense women, pressuring them to cavern to abandoned animal desires in adjustment to save their careers or abort their lives if they don’t.
The larboard has every appropriate to acclaim Kimmel for arrest bloom affliction and gun control, but they should appeal him to advance the action adjoin animal aggravation in Hollywood, area he has abundant bigger ascendancy than he does in D.C. My assumption is that Kimmel won’t acquire such a claiming because on this issue, he’s altogether accomplished with the cachet quo because it doesn’t affect him. He’ll accumulate accomplishing what he’s doing; apish Trump and acquire millions.

Kimmel isn’t “America’s conscience.” He’s a coward.
This is an assessment piece. The angle bidding in this commodity are those of aloof the author.
