‘You wicked demon bastards’: Jimmy Kimmel now accused of putting ‘a target on the back of every Trump supporter’
A journalist who says Charlie Kirk greatly improved his personal life by focusing on Jesus Christ is now asserting former late-night talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel “put a target on the back of every Trump supporter” with his remarks blaming Kirk’s assassination on those who wish to Make America Great Again, or MAGA.
“Charlie is the figurehead of the MAGA movement and so to blame MAGA for Charlie’s death, which by the way is a sick and evil lie, is to blame Charlie for his own death. But also it is to put a target on the back of every Trump supporter,” said Benny Johnson, host of “The Benny Show,” during an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel.
“Because what Jimmy Kimmel is saying is that with the full power and weight of ABC News, which is a taxpayer-funded, corporate news entity which has a license to broadcast in the public interest, he is saying I’m gonna take the full weight of that comedy show, which is a sick joke, and I’m gonna put a target on the back of Trump supporters.
Charlie was the figurehead of MAGA.
To blame MAGA for his assassination is to blame Charlie for his own death, and to put a target on every Trump supporter.

“What he is saying is, ‘I will whitewash your crime,’ because Charlie Kirk was killed by a radical, trans activist Democrat. And he’s gonna say ‘I will whitewash that, and I will assist in blaming the MAGA movement for these assassinations.’
“It’s a very evil and very dangerous thing for everybody out there who’s still working to honor Charlie and his legacy and to remember him. It’s the last thing that he would want. Charlie was always an agent of peace and debate and dialogue.”
Regarding ongoing attacks against Kirk, whose memorial service is taking place Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, Johnson wondered aloud: “Why is it so difficult for leftists to just say we disavow violence and we are praying for the Kirk family? That’s all you have to do and then you just move on. That’s the decent and honorable thing to do.”
“It’s not about red vs. blue. This is a spiritual war. It is a sunken, sunken place that the Democrat Party is in. Fifty-eight Democrats refused to … on the House floor … vote to honor Charlie and denounce political violence. … These people need Jesus.”
Just look at the crowd ahead of Charlie Kirk’s memorial in Arizona.
A turning point

Johnson indicated Kirk’s life “is prophetic.”
“Charlie’s a true martyr in the true Christian sense,” he said. “He is advancing now the kingdom of God, even in death. And that doesn’t happen. His social media accounts have doubled and tripled, and you’re going to see today a revival.”
BREAKING: Benny Johnson is SPOT on. Charlie Kirk was a man of God and a True Martyr for Christ.

“They wanted a funeral, Maria, and what they got was a spiritual awakening and a revival. That is the mark of a man who had the hand of God on him. We’ve felt that in our lives.”
Kimmel had said in his Sept. 15 monologue, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them – and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

Kimmel’s show has since been canceled indefinitely by Disney, which owns ABC.
In a previous broadcast on his own show, Johnson labeled leftists in the public and media as “wicked demon bastards” for celebrating Kirk’s assassination.
“You wicked demon bastards on the left and in the corporate media who even at this very moment celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death, called for Charlie Kirk’s death for years.
“YOU WICKED DEMON BASTARDS”

“You labeled him the most evil names you could possibly label him to your genetically and mentally predisposed audiences and deficient audiences who you know are mentally unstable, and you told them Charlie Kirk was Hitler. And then, what do you expect to happen? … They labeled us all this way.”
