The host of Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC again proved that late-night “comedy” has fallen a long way since the days of Johnny Carson. Now late-night “comedy” tends to be lib therapy sessions and a parade of DNC talking points thinly disguised as jokes.

A recent Kimmel monologue was dedicated to Republicans and perhaps partly fueled by the host’s fear that he’s on Donald Trump’s “enemies list.” As a result, Kimmel had a message for people who are planning to vote for Trump:

Isn’t that the kind of “dangerous” election interference that the Left gets in a twist about when somebody on the Right jokes about it?
Didn’t someone go to jail for a similar meme on how to vote?

Why yes, that did happen. There’s more info on that posted on the Justice Department’s website.
There’s a guy in jail for telling this joke. https://t.co/FwdsR6h4Hx

It’s a good thing Kimmel’s not a Republican and told Democrats to vote next Thursday or he might be in trouble, not that the justice system is slanted in one direction or anything (cue massive eye roll).
Douglass Mackey was sentenced to prison for tweeting false information about how to vote for Hillary Clinton.
He said it was a joke.

Douglas Mackey was sentenced to prison for less, and he didn’t use federally licensed airwaves when spreading this election misinformation @FCC @elonmusk @FBI

According to the DOJ post, Mackey had nearly 60,000 social media followers. Kimmel’s show reaches about 1.5 million people per night.
Make a meme saying that: straight to jail
Say it on a crappy late night show: good fun
