Jimmy Kimmel is known for many things, but truth telling, objectivity, and maintaining perspective are not among them. Using one of the world’s biggest platforms, in other words, hosting the Oscars, he uncorked a whale of a lie that made Leftists everywhere so very happy.
Targeting Tucker Carlson, late in the Academy Awards show last night, Kimmel lampooned the Fox News host without actually naming him. Kimmel implied that Carlson has cherry-picked film footage to reveal that the J6 protest event was largely peaceful – which, among hundreds of thousands of protestors, it largely was.
A Zinger of a Lie
As he introduced the category of the film editing, Kimmel impudently said, “Anyone who’s ever received a text message from their father knows how important editing is. Editors do amazing things. Editors can turn 44,000 hours of violent insurrection footage into a respectful sight-seeing tour of the Capitol.”
Right on cue the woke-filled audience offered long and resounding laughter and applause. If we back up for a moment, however, the absurdity of Kimmel’s quip becomes obvious: Has Kimmel watched even 1,000 of the 44,000 hours? 100 hours? 10 hours? Even 1 hour of footage that was not cherry-picked by the J6 Select Committee?
Does Kimmel have any idea that the J6 Committee engaged in highly selective film editing of their own? Does he know that committee member Bennie Thompson recently confirmed that committee members did not watch the footage and that they delegated they assignment to their various staffs?
A Favor to History
Did Kimmel not hear Tucker Carlson say many times that the film footage he was airing was simply offering a more balanced view off what occurred? And that numerous times Carlson has said that rioters or vandalizers should be dealt with accordingly?
When House Speaker Kevin McCarthy yielded the surveillance footage to Carslon, McCarthy did the nation, the world, and history a great favor. Without such an act, we would only have the J6 Committee version of what transpired. Their version, indeed their entire proceedings, was nothing but cherry-picking.
Don’t tell that to Kimmel, the Oscar audience, or Leftist everywhere, however. They “know” what the saw, and they are quite content to let their lie-filled narrative reign supreme.
The Operative Reigns
Does Kimmel know that scores of government operatives deftly blended in with the crowd and that they intentionally emulated the dress and demeanor of Trump supporters? Does he know that uniformed officials fired tear gas, not near the crowd, INTO the crowd, deliberatively, to provoke them?
Does he know that Ray Epps and other encouraged the crowd to become rowdy and force their way into the Capitol? Does he know that Epps bragged about his role to his nephew afterward? Does he know that the J6 Committee declined to grill Epps about his role. Indeed, they let him off the hook, unlike what they did with hundreds of others, namely civilians, who played lessor roles.
Does Kimmel and his approving audience care about the lawful treatment of those who have been accused? This is supposed to be the United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave; the nation which immigrants from around the world yearn to reach; the beacon of democracy and the shining example on Earth of a free people in a free land.
The Rights We Hold
America was founded based on a constitution and amendments that guarantee rights to the individual; a republic where laws prevail, to be dispensed impartially; where unlawful search and seizure is not permitted; and where due process matters.
Despite all of this, the J6 Committee and the Biden Administration have acted in ways unprecedented in our history. It is treating those people who inhabited the U.S. Capitol on January 6th as if they are murderous terrorists. The people that Biden is holding, in some cases for months, and now years, in solitary confinement, are being denied their fundamental rights as American citizens.
It is only fitting that justice is served before and during the legal proceedings for any of the incarcerated. The Biden Administration and it’s incalculably undemocratic, unlawful, and despicable approach to administering ‘justice’ is stifling attempts to ensure that these incarcerated individuals receive lawful and constitutional protections.
Joe Biden, the total political puppet that he is, and his handlers, know full well about the kind of treasonous behavior in which they are engaged. They feel all-powerful however, and they are not concerned. They’ve got Jimmy Kimmel, the Oscar audience, the sycophantic press, and multi-millions of gullible Democrats, liberals, and progressives on their side.
Does Mr Davidson understand that footage of people acting peacefully in no way exonerates them from acting badly at another time? Just because the protestors were acting peacefully most of the time does not let them off the hook from the riotous behaviour we all witnessed later. You can display thousands of hours of a murder not murdering, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do the murder!

There’s a strawman if ever there was one.
Do you understand that the point of the story is that the narrative the American people (which you are not one) were handed was an out and out lie as proven by the newly released footage?
Do you understand that based on that provably false narrative, American citizens have been incarcerated, some in solitary confinement? Some have been tried, convicted and sentenced to prison time based on a lie and without this exculpatory evidence?
That all might fly in a pseudo benevolent fascist police state full of ruled peasants but not so much here in America. But hey, keep making the sloppy thinking straw man arguments. Jesters are always good for entertainment.
And as always: Have a nice day and drive safely.
Sgt rock seems to have missed the point completely. The thousands hours of newly released video mostly shows protesters acting peacefully.. no doubt Ted bundy spent much of his life acting peacefully too. Is that evidence that he is not guilty? Now that is not a strawman but it is an analogy.
Sheesh! Mint provides all a window to view being obtuse in practice.
No protester murdered anyone . So there is no footage of people acting peacefully then same people at another time murdering. But go on itsit…I just love when you imagine a world where you can intellectually go toe to toe with Mr. Davidson. I made coffee and fresh croissants just to ponder that imagery .
Rock – the answer is no. It cannot grasp what Mr. Davidson’s point is. No tools in toolbox kind of thing to do so.
Mint – Rock is not built to miss any point. And like Mr. Davidson it is like watching a lamb slaughtered but having placed its wittle head in vice for the slaughterhouse master Rock. Self awareness can spare you these humilations on the thread – but you just can’t help yourself.
Ted Bundy was an American serial killer who kidnapped, raped and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. After more than a decade of denials, he confessed to 30 murders committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978.
For you to trot out Bundy when referencing Jan 6 reflects a shallowness and cognitive dissonance you share more with the core traits of serial killers than anyone who attended the US Capitol Protest to support election integrity .
Bekah joins the “missed the point” club and has won a free subscription for the rest of her life. Perhaps she can be the president and Sgt Rock the vice president.
I know this is soooo boring for those of you who grasped it but just for these two. No one is claiming anyone has murdered anyone. The POINT is that video evidence (now matter how many hours) of people acting peacefully in no way exonerates them from acting non peacefully at another time. Get it? Lets see if we can attract some more members
MINT forgot what she wrote despite capability of simply looking up and reading her posts lol.
“Just because the protestors were acting peacefully most of the time does not let them off the hook from the riotous behaviour we all witnessed later. You can display thousands of hours of a murder not murdering, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do the murder!
YOU brought murder into the thread silly _____.
YOU doubled down throwing Ted Bundy- a MURDERER , into the mix!!!!
“The thousands hours of newly released video mostly shows protesters acting peacefully.. no doubt Ted bundy spent much of his life acting peacefully too. Is that evidence that he is not guilty? Now that is not a strawman but it is an analogy.”
Then you do what you always F ing do, YOU LIE.
“The POINT is that video evidence (now matter how many hours) of people acting peacefully in no way exonerates them from acting non peacefully at another time. Get it?”
Neither Davidson , not Rock , or me – EVER , I mean EVER stated that people acting peacefully in no way exonerates them from acting non peacefully at another time. This was YOUR bullcrap not ours. YOUR strawman that Rock instantly nailed you to a wall over.
Child you could read Davidson article and both our comments 100 times and STILL not comprehend the point or points made. That is how utterly incapable you are in comprehension skills and how vile you are with intellectual dishonesty.
So now Bekah you have just doubled down on the “missed the whole point” issue. Defiantly you would make a great president of the club.
The murder reference is simply an illustration of the fallacy of assuming that when we see a person acting peacefully doesnt mean they cant act on peacefully at other times. Any yet that is what the thousands of hours of people acting peacefully is trying to portray.
Again as an illustration, thousands of hours of Ted Bundy acting peacefully does not exonerate him from his evil deeds. This is again another illustration of the fallacy.
As to the lies, there were no lies because I never stated that Sgt Rock or anyone else made that claim. But the point i did make was that it is fallacious argument to cite the peaceful actions.
Bekah your inability to understand illustration and examples makes it difficult to converse with you in a meaningful way. These are serious issues, worthy of serious dialogue. So please despite your inabilities show some respect, if not to me, at least to other readers by taking the issues seriously
Hands Mint a helmet.
There is medicine and therapy that could assist with those repetitive head banging obsessive urges dear.
