Jimmy Kimmel says ‘tyranny is booming’ as he renews attacks on Trump in UK Christmas address

Jimmy Kimmel unleashed fresh attacks on President Trump and declared “tyranny is booming” in the United States during a Christmas Day address in Britain -- escalating his feud with the White House months after ABC briefly pulled his show over his comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. The late-night host used Channel 4’s Alternative Christmas Message to say that “from a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year,” delivering one of his most pointed political monologues yet -- on a UK network, not American television. The address aired on Christmas Day on Channel 4, less than two hours after King Charles III's annual speech. It was billed by the network as a deliberately provocative counterpoint to the royal address, which is intended to be non-partisan and seeks to avoid controversy.
