Jimmy Kimmel Slams Trump’s ‘Punishable By Death’ Comments
Jimmy Kimmel criticized Trump’s comments labeling six lawmakers’ call to refuse illegal military orders as seditious and punishable by death, noting Pentagon threats against Sen. Mark Kelly.
- On Tuesday, Jimmy Kimmel opened his monologue by shredding President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Democratic veterans be executed for sharing a video, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
- Last week six lawmakers who served in the military or intelligence community released a video urging members to `refuse illegal orders`, prompting President Donald Trump to accuse them of `seditious behavior, punishable by death`.
- Kimmel singled out Sen. Mark Kelly , noting the Pentagon has threatened to court-martial him and that Kelly, a former Navy captain, flew 39 combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait during his Tuesday appearance.
- Public reaction centered on whether the remarks constituted a threat, as many interpreted President Donald Trump's comments as threatening and raised security concerns, while Trump denied `threatening death` and said `I think they're in serious trouble`.
- Elsewhere in Tuesday's monologue, Kimmel noted Paramount is working on Rush Hour 4 at Trump's request and highlighted Brett Ratner's return after a decade amid sexual harassment allegations.
