MAGA supporters are calling on the Justice Department to investigate late night host Jimmy Kimmel after he spewed election disinformation in the form of a “joke” during a 20-minute anti-Trump tirade this week.
In a desperate last-ditch hail mary attempt to save Democrat Kamala Harris’ presidential prospects, Kimmel dedicated an entire opening monologue to haranguing voters over why Donald Trump is the wrong choice.
Amid his unhinged rant, Kimmel addressing Trump voters told them if they’d like to vote for the former president they should “vote late,” suggesting voting on “Thursday” or “Friday” — two days after Election Day when their votes would not be counted.
“If you want to vote for Trump, vote late. Vote very late. Do your voting on Thursday or maybe Friday,” Kimmel said amid the monologue.

The incident rankled MAGA supporters, who pointed out one pro-Trump activist was convicted of election interference by the Biden DOJ and sentenced to time in prison for making the same joke online in the form of a meme.
“Wasn’t Douglass Mackey sentenced to prison for doing something similar?” questioned popular X user @libsoftiktok, adding, “Will @thejusticedept investigate Jimmy Kimmel?”
“Jimmy Kimmel should go to Jail,” expressed X user @AdamCrigler.

“The Biden Administration sent Douglass Mackey to prison for making this exact joke,” pointed out DailyWire contributor Matt Walsh. “I’m dead serious when I say if Trump wins he should have Jimmy Kimmel arrested and jailed. Force these scumbags to live by their own rules.”
Meanwhile, Mackey himself weighed in on the situation, asking if the Deep State would persecute Kimmel the same as him.
“When I made an election joke, the Deep State used it as a pretext to conduct a fishing expedition against me, subpoenaing all financial records, leases, employment information and pay stubs, and email accounts,” Mackey highlighted. “Will Jimmy Kimmel enjoy the same?”

Mackey, known online as “Ricky Vaughn,” joined Tucker Carlson last year to detail his nightmare experience from reposting a meme criticizing Hillary Clinton, after which he was raided by the FBI and ultimately charged with felony crimes!
Clinton even claimed Mackey was trying to subvert the election by tricking people into voting with a text message, which any American would know is not a legal way to cast a ballot.
Kimmel’s case demonstrates how the two-tiered Biden justice system selectively targets political opponents, while Democrat elites are free to break the rules they themselves establish.
