Kimmel calls out ‘repulsive’ liberal voices, obtains Italian citizenship

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel is speaking out about the current political climate

revealing he's obtained Italian citizenship during a conversation about people leaving the

country over Trump's presidency. But he's also calling out what he calls repulsive voices

that are repelling people from the Democratic Party. On the Sarah Silverman podcast, Kimmel said he recently secured Italian citizenship during a

conversation about people leaving the country over President Trump. A lot of people I know are

thinking about where they can get citizenship. I do have Italian. I did get Italian citizenship

You do? Oh, that's amazing. I do have that. And what's going on is is as bad as you thought it

was going to be. Way worse. It's so much worse. It's just unbelievable. But Kimmel also turned

his criticism toward what he called wild voices on the political left, saying some outspoken

liberal figures have alienated people from the Democratic Party, but refrained from naming names

But it not it not the party It not the majority It it the loud voices that that scare people from saying what they believe And you know a lot of their points are valid but a lot of them are also just repulsive

And I mean, they were in that they repel people from they go like, oh, you're no fun

I don't want to be around you. And I think that if you had to boil it down to like one thing, that's kind of what it is

It's like like, oh, you're no fun. I don't want to be part of your group. The discussion also referred to podcast host Joe Rogan, who supported Trump in 2024

but recently criticized the president's deportation policies. Kimmel said he doesn't believe in shunning people who have shifted their political views

saying those who break with Trump are welcome in the Democratic Party

If you want to admit you are wrong, that's so hard and so rare to do

And brave. You are welcome. Kimmel's comments come just weeks after President Trump took aim at him and fellow late night host

Jimmy Fallon, predicting in a post to Truth Social, they'd be next to lose their shows

after the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's late show
