“And yet there are hundreds of nuts out there that continue to spread nonsense, to advertise unproven, ineffective drugs, asking for Dr. Fauci’s head,” he added. One of these individuals is Carrie Lake, a candidate for governor of Arizona, who in a campaign speech called for the widespread release of ivermectin, a horse parasite not recommended as a treatment for Covid, and promised to issue an arrest warrant for Fas. “We are at the point where I was afraid we would get to where Donald Trump is almost mainstream,” Kimmel said. “It simply came to our notice then. Mitt Romney is a hippie, Trump is a moderate, and then we have all this madness. Trump’s presidency was like opening a Tandora box. “There are so many really scary people vying for office.” Kimmel also chose another favorite target: Trump’s Truth Social app, his alleged copy on Twitter, which he has not posted since its release in February. “The last time he ignored something so much, he was named Eric,” Kimmel said ironically. Truth Social’s point of sale was “freedom of speech” – “they will not ban you like Twitter did to Trump,” Kimmel explained. “But if you go through the instructions of their community, something we did, you will see that this is not necessarily true.” Truth Social claims that it cites content that falsifies a business, “such as this’s Trump tweet about Dominion voting machines” as part of its post-2020 disinformation campaign. file a $ 1.3 billion defamation suit against several of Trump’s allies.) The company also says it will delete accounts that use Truth Social “for crime or other illegal acts,” such as “I do not know, start a Capitol Uprising, perhaps?” noted Kimmel. “My question is, maybe that’s why Trump has not posted on Truth Social. He has forbidden that too! “

Seth Meyers

Late at night, Seth Meyers rejected Trump’s claim that he would not return to Elon Musk’s Twitter if he were allowed to. “I’m sorry, but there is no way Trump will not return to the tweet right away if given the chance,” Meyers said. “Trump does not have the restraint to stay out of Twitter. “Offering back to Twitter is like offering Keith Richards a cigarette.” “While Trump’s ban on Twitter has always been complicated,” he said, “I think it would be terrible, for me, for sure, if Trump took back his Twitter, mainly because not having him on Twitter was just a huge improvement.” of quality of life. . » Meyers also mocked Truth Social after CEO and former Congressman Devin Nunes appeared on Fox News and effectively asked the hosts to join the site. “Whenever you think your life is bad, just remember: you could be a former MP begging Brian Kilmeade, a man with the eyes of a cabbage doll, to send truths,” Meyers said. Fox News presenter Steve Doocy told Nunes, on-air, that he could not join Truth Social because of a waiting list. “Waiting list; “Does not the internet mean that everything is instantaneous?” said Myers. “It’s like clicking on Apple Maps and it was just a list of places where you could buy a map.”

Trevor Noah

And on The Daily Show, Trevor Noah cheered for Fauci’s “comment outside the pandemic phase” with a half-heart of deflated balloons. “Do not let these balloons fool you,” he said. “It does not mean we have come out of the pandemic. Many people have misinterpreted this news today. They said “the pandemic is over! “Time to kiss my grandmother again!” “But that does not mean that,” he continued. What Fauci was saying is that America is not currently in a “pandemic phase,” such as: no pandemic right now, but it is not over. He could return. Or he can leave. But he could return. Or go – you do not know. It is a phase. It’s something like a baggy pair of jeans. “They disappeared for 20 years and now all of a sudden it looks like they had to borrow a pair of pants from Shaq.” “But as much as you want to be angry with people, here’s the question: Dr. Fauci, how come you do not know by now how stupid people are?” he wondered. “We are all idiots. You can not just say “Oh, the pandemic phase is over!” All we hear is “Party time!”
