Jimmy Kimmel used the opening monologue of Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday to take aim at Republicans’ latest attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act. “They’re trying to sneak this scam of a bill they cooked up in without an analysis from the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office,” he said in video released online ahead of the show’s airing.
Back in May, the talk-show host made headlines when he disclosed in a monologue that his and wife Molly’s second child, son Billy, had been born with a rare heart disease and had had to undergo open-heart surgery shortly after his birth. Though the baby pulled through with flying colors — and even helped Dad pen his latest monologue (see below) — the scare inspired Kimmel to issue a plea for bipartisan collaboration on health care that he said at the time had gotten him branded by “very sick and sad critics” as “an out-of-touch Hollywood elitist creep.”
If anyone again wants to take issue with Kimmel’s standing up for the rights of families to have access to basic health care, “you can shove your disgusting comments where your doctor won’t be giving you a prostate exam once they take your health-care benefits away,” he said.
