Jimmy Kimmel on Elementary School Shooting in Uvalde, Texas



Jimmy responds to the tragic school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and talks about 89% of Americans wanting background checks, our cowardly leaders listening to the NRA instead of the people they actually represent, firearms becoming the #1 leading cause of death for American children and teens, Ted Cruz speaking at an NRA event this weekend, the 27 school shootings so far this year in America, and making sure that lawmakers do something about common-sense gun laws. If you can, please support Everytown in their fight against gun violence. https://www.everytown.org/

Agreed. All the late night guys weighed in on this tragedy, but Jimmy's was the best Rhiannon12866 May 2022 #15
And wasn't this uploaded and posted on Wednesday night?? Rhiannon12866 May 2022 #16

And that gave them time to take in what was breaking news. This will stand as his most memorable monologue.
