Jimmy Kimmel secures Italian citizenship as liberal celebrities threaten exodus under Trump

[seafoam1 3,180]

I love how they think it's a "threat". 

Just leave already. It's so nice to get rid of these people. 

 

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel confirmed he obtained his Italian citizenship during a discussion on people fleeing the country to escape President Donald Trump.

Kimmel shared the news while a guest on fellow comedian Sarah Silverman’s podcast Friday, as they discussed the state of the country in Trump’s second term.

"A lot of people I know are thinking about where are they going to get citizenship?" Silverman said.

"I did get Italian citizenship," Kimmel replied.

"You do? Oh, that’s amazing," Silverman reacted.

"I do have that. And what’s going on is—as bad as you thought it was going to be — it’s so much worse. It’s just unbelievable," Kimmel said. 

He first shared he had obtained his Italian citizenship at an event at the Consulate General of Italy in Los Angeles in June, according to Italian news agency Ansa.

"I have just obtained citizenship, thanks to my beloved grandmother Edith, whose family came from Candida, in the province of Avellino," he told the crowd at the event celebrating the 79th Italian Republic Day.

Kimmel's admission comes after fellow comedians Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres revealed earlier this year that they had permanently relocated outside the country after the 2024 election.

Why didn't he just enter Italy illegally and file for free benefits?

That is amazing isn't it. 

I wonder if anyone will ask him about it? 

[seafoam1 3,180]

Same with Silverman, why does she think she needs to have actual citizenship to move to other countries? 

[Thornton Melon 630]

Geez, my sister applied for Italian citizenship 3 or 4 years ago. They told her it would be around 2029 when it's approved.

I guess you gotta be a celebrity...

I know, right?  They would be a net positive for Italy.  Italy should welcome them with open arms.

It's funny how these liberals always want to leave AFTER they make their fortune here. It's interesting how the liberal starving performers never leave while they are trying to make it in the business.

They are the kings and queens of hypocrisy, just like politicians.

Theres a good chance this is performative lying

[listen2me 23 1,889]

News like this is pure gold.  

[squistion 2,251]

Don't break out the champagne yet. 

This is just a contingency plan or an insurance policy for him to be able to flee the country altogether if Trump starts locking up his critics (which many high profile liberals are concerned with, like Rachel Maddow).

At least we got Squissy to admit racism and misogyny is on brand for “high profile libs.”

I don't think he dares take a step outside of this country. Unfortunately. 

[EternalShinyAndChrome 4,197]

I say let him go and revoke his US citizenship in the process.  He's a complete effeminate loser.

[TheNewGirl 1,518]

OH NOES!!!! Not Jimmy Kimmel!!!

[listen2me 23 1,889]

It makes these people look so foolish when they threaten this yet have no urge to actually go.  Im sure there has been a few.  But for the rest of the 95%?  Ya look foolish.  Maybe this is what hypes up the left, who knows.   People forget soon anyway these days.  

Is it a white privilege joke or an open borders joke here?

Italy is fortunate to have her as their leader with her strong values and beliefs. Seems like Italy won't be any better for Kimmel.

[Strike 5,663]

If Trump succeeds in ridding us of Ellen, Rosie, AND Kimmel he will be the best President in the history of this country!!

I think Giorgia needs to investigate how Kimmel got his citizenship so fast and apparently skipped over the line.

So he might be locked up in an internment camp there too?

[Voltaire 5,342]

Poor Italy.

Would have been better off admitting a Somali ISIS recruiter instead.
