LONDON, UK– Late night host Jimmy Kimmel appeared on British television Thursday to warn viewers that President Trump had turned the United States into a tyrannical nightmare, delivering the message from a country where police regularly arrest pensioners for posting memes with the wrong caption.<\/p>\n
Appearing on a popular British talk show last night to warn the UK audience about the creeping fascism consuming America under Trump, Kimmel claimed free speech in America was under attack, hanging by a thread, and basically illegal now, quietly pausing only to ask producers whether he was still allowed to use sarcasm or if that required prior approval.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople in the U.S. are afraid to speak,\u201d Jimmy Kimmel said with a straight face, right before producers reminded him of what he wasn’t allowed to talk about. \u201cTrump wants to silence comedians, journalists, and everyday Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Officials stressed that the UK is not authoritarian and that arrests for online speech are merely \u201ccommunity reassurance interventions involving handcuffs.\u201d<\/p>\n
At press time, a 74-year-old British grandmother was arrested for watching Kimmel’s speech on losing freedom of speech in America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
