It finally happened.
Jimmy Kimmel mentioned Graham Platner, the Democrat with more scandals than the Nixon and Clinton administrations, combined.
Late-night activists have been loath to mention the “oyster farmer” turned Senatorial candidate for obvious reasons. Every ounce of Platner’s persona is riddled with career-ending accusations.
And, of course, the fact that he sported a Nazi tattoo on his chest for 18 years before being shamed to ink over it for political purposes.
Seems newsy, no? Not to Kimmel and co.
Yet the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” brought Platner up Wednesday night. Now, “The Daily Show” dipped a microscopic toe in his scandalous waters before extensively shredding a Colorado Republican.
Victor Marx deserved the comic thrashing, but so does Platner.
What Kimmel said about Platner defies belief. The essential Newsbusters share the surreal monologue on the matter.
“There were primary elections in four states yesterday. In Maine, Democrats overwhelmingly voted for Graham Platner for Senate despite a number of embarrassing scandals, including revelations of a Nazi-esque tattoo on his body, sexting with women while he’s married, and allegations of abuse…”
“If Democrats cannot get him into the Senate, word is the Republicans are planning to nominate him for president in 2028.”
Huh?
No, really. Huh?
First of all, it’s not Nazi-esque. It’s a full-scale Nazi tattoo that lingered on his body for nearly two decades. Seems like great fodder for a truth-teller like Kimmel, no?
Secondly, the GOP wants nothing to do with a far-Left character like Platner, and bringing Republicans into the story smacks of desperation.
At best.
That’s Kimmel in 2026, the most popular late-night comedian who’s willing to burn every ounce of his credibility in his waning days.
After all, both he and David Letterman know the late-night format is on its last legs. He’s just hastening its departure.
