Post-Cancellation Jimmy Kimmel Won’t Stop Lying
Far-left propagandist twists truth with preposterous Antifa 'defense'
Michael Rapaport praised Jimmy Kimmel during Thursday’s “Ryan Schuiling Live” show on 630 KHOW in Denver.
This reporter and host, Ryan Schuiling, quizzed the actor on a range of issues, including the ongoing hostage crisis and Kimmel’s recent suspension. The “Beautiful Girls” actor, a free speech advocate, spoke warmly of his bond with Kimmel during the exchange.
The irony was twofold.
One, Kimmel has said nothing about far-Left agitators forcing comedy clubs to cancel Rapaport’s performances in Alabama and Michigan in recent months. Some free speech advocate.
More importantly, Antifa groups have been part of that effort, including ghoulish posters surrounding a Portland club appearance that suggested they wanted Rapaport canceled.
Permanently.

Now, Kimmel is using his ABC pulpit to tell viewers that Antifa doesn’t actually exist. That would be news to Rapaport as well as many others who have felt the radical group’s wrath.
Kimmel brought up the group in reference to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The Trump official mentioned earlier this week that the government had captured the girlfriend of one of the group’s founders.
Jimmy Kimmel mocks Kristi Noem on-air while laughing off Antifa as an “entirely imaginary organization.”

“You understand there is no Antifa,” Kimmel said. “This is an entirely imaginary organization. There is not an Antifa. This is no different than if they announced they rounded up a dozen Decepticons.” The latter references the villains in the long-running “Transformers” saga.
Journalist Andy Ngo may be the most prominent reporter covering the Antifa beat. He literally wrote the book on the subject. He was also previously attacked by group members, causing a brain bleed.
Here’s a full report on the “imaginary” group.
Here’s more from a brief X search on the subject tied to its Portland-area activity:
“There have been no bombs dropped in Portland or exploded in Portland in recent memory,” wrote @lizzzyacker @lrmongeau @joel__odom for the Oregonian “fact check” of the Antifa roundtable.
They don’t include any of the bombs used by rioters in 2020.
Mostly peaceful bombings. https://t.co/XNbD3s3luB pic.twitter.com/2JuHHavcu9

From the same article: “The term ‘Antifa’ is generally considered an ideological concept rather than a centralized organization.”
THERE’S LITERALLY AN ORGANIZATION CALLED ROSE CITY ANTIFA. THEY HAVE A WEBSITE.
Yeah, I think this “fact check” has issues. https://t.co/bzEcyLm4zP

Twisting the truth is now fully part of Kimmel’s brand.
Last year, he told his audience that President Joe Biden didn’t freeze up during a fundraising event, even though we all saw the footage and drew that obvious conclusion.

More recently, Kimmel implied a MAGA supporter shot and killed conservative icon Charlie Kirk. That misdirection led to a week-long suspension from ABC.
Kimmel never apologized for the comments. More recently, he doubled down on that misdirection.

Looks like Jimmy is positioning to get all the Colbert viewers who will be displaced when he goes off the air. He has to know that’s his only hope to survive in the business, given the way his show is losing money.
