A little while ago, Jimmy Kimmel posted the following tweet:
In reality, Jimmy Kimmel, and not Aaron Rodgers, is the a**hole in this situation.
It doesn’t matter whether Kimmel had any contact with Jeffrey Epstein, or whether his name appears on any Epstein-related list. Regardless of whether or not he is guilty of what Rodgers accused him of, Kimmel is wrong to issue such a pompous, stuck-up, and self-righteous statement.
“Soft-brained wackos”? Really?
“Nonsense” that Rodgers “can’t seem to distinguish from reality”? Really?
“Reckless words” that “put my family in danger?” Really?
Apparently, in Kimmel’s eyes, anyone who disagrees with him is “soft-brained” and a “wacko.”
Apparently, in Kimmel’s eyes, any idea with which he disagrees is “nonsense.”
And apparently, in Kimmel’s eyes, any person with ideas that differ from his own is unable to distinguish “nonsense” from “reality.”
The fact that Kimmel would speak and write this way about people with whom he disagrees is a far more important issue than whether or not Kimmel had anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Regardless of whether or not Rodgers’s allegations are factually correct, it’s unacceptable for anyone to speak or write this way about people with whom they disagree. Doing so is the very essence of bigotry and intolerance. Doing so demonstrates a person to be a pompous, stuck-up, and self-righteous bully.
Honestly, it is completely lacking in empathy for Kimmel to be so angry and upset at Rodgers’s accusations, regardless of whether they are true or false. Did Kimmel speak out against government policies requiring people to undergo medical procedures against their will? Did he stand up for the historical figures who have been murdered en masse over the past three and a half years? Did he stand up for the autistic people who have had to witness public spaces across the country being redesigned in order to ensure that we cannot feel included?
No?
Then, quite frankly, he has no right to be upset about anything.
For these are the things that are actually upsetting. These are the things that should cause Kimmel to be filled with pompous, self-righteous anger, not comments by Aaron Rodgers.
This is why Jimmy Kimmel, and not Aaron Rodgers, is a true a**hole.
