CHRISTIAN TOTO: Is Kimmel’s Pratt Assault Start of New Late-Night War?

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” became the first late-night show to take on the upstart candidate head on. It’s surprising that Kimmel and co. have mostly held their fire up until this point.

Pratt isn’t a traditional Republican. Nor does he mention ideology when promoting his efforts to replace L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. He still seeks to upend California’s Democratic dominance, and that’s a bridge too far for a progressive activist like Kimmel.

“Then you get a guy who is on a reality show, who’s on a lot of reality shows. His profession is to be the screaming jerk on reality shows, and his house burns down, and even though he had no private insurance on his house and doesn’t believe in climate change, he is understandably upset about his house burning down.”

Exit questions:

Did climate change also drain the reservoirs, defund the fire department, allow the utility companies to avoid updating dilapidated spark happy infrastructure, and veto forestry management bills? https://t.co/5PXRdKZ2Hj
