“A commander-in-chief who threatens to put members of our military, our national guardsmen and women, in the position of having to shoot a fellow American on sight? I don’t care what you are. Right, left, Republican, Democrat. I can’t imagine that there are many of us who want that,” said Kimmel.

He further went on to say, “Our President is threatening to order the military to shoot Americans. Specifically black Americans. And then, of course, today, as he often does when he says something idiotic, he tried to reel that in. He claimed he was saying he didn’t want that to happen. It was a warning, not a warning warning. But a warning. The sad thing about how much he lies is, he isn’t even good at it.”

“Enough is enough. We gotta vote this guy out already. And we need to work on this problem we have. This blatant double standard,” the talk show host concluded.

Earlier celebrities like Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, and Billie Eilish had also addressed the issue.
