Jimmy Kimmel Breaks Down Discussing Texas School Shooting: “These Are Our Children”

Jimmy Kimmel Tears Up Discussing Texas School Shooting: “These Are Our Children”

The host began by laying out the by-now-predictable playbook of Republicans and pro-gun advocates seeking to depoliticize the shooting. “Our leaders on the right, the Americans in Congress and at Fox News and these other outlets warn us not to politicize this,” Kimmel said, before adding, “they don’t want to speak about it, because they know what they’ve done. And they know what they haven’t done and they know that it’s indefensible. So they’d rather sweep this under the rug.

“Our cowardly leaders just aren’t listening to us they’re listening to the NRA they’re listening to those people who write them checks who keep them in power, because that’s the way politics work,” said Kimmel. “I would like to say to Ted Cruz, the human being, and Governor Abbott, and everyone, it’s OK to admit you made a mistake. In fact, it’s not just OK, it’s necessary to admit you made a mistake when your mistake is killing the children in your state,” Kimmel said.

Kimmel, sounding bereft, then said Americans can’t continue to ignore this problem. “This is not a time for moments of silence this is a time to be loud and to stay loud and not stop until we fix this,” he said. He said there had been 27 school shootings so far in 2022, at which point his voice began to crack, “how does this make sense to anyone? These are our children!”
