Kimmel Mocks Dems’ TikTok: ‘What Is that Supposed to Do Besides Embarrass Everyone Involved’

KIMMEL: “As the pile of crazy starts to build, a lot of people have been wondering how and when the Democrats are planning to fight back. Well, look out, because we’ve got a plan and we are launching it on TikTok.”

(Laughter)
KIMMEL: “Yeah! We’re not just gonna stand back and take it anymore. We’re gonna fight! What is that supposed to do, besides embarrass everyone involved with it? And then we had a scene outside NPR, where angry protesters gathered to denounce a bill in the House that would eliminate funding for public broadcasting.”

[Clip starts]
PROTESTER: “So I’m going to say, ‘Whose streets?’ And you’re going to say ‘Sesame Street.’ Yeah? Yeah? Okay, here we go. Whose streets?”
PROTESTERS: “‘Sesame Street.’”
PROTESTER: “Whose streets?”
PROTESTERS: “‘Sesame Street.’”
PROTESTER: “Whose streets?”
PROTESTERS: “‘Sesame Street.’”

KIMMEL: “You know, maybe I’ll look into getting a medically-induced coma for the next four years as a way to sleep it out. Oh, man, if that is the best we got, Ukraine is even in more trouble than we realized.”
