Jimmy Fallon Gets Serious In Late-Night Monologue; Delivers Emotional Attack On Trump After Charlottesville

[Ubiquitous]

There were no jokes in Jimmy Fallon’s Monday Tonight Show monologue.
An emotional Fallon delivered a powerful statement on his reaction
to the violent events that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia,
over the weekend and President Trump’s delayed response.

“Even though The Tonight Show isn’t a political show, it’s my
responsibility to stand up against intolerance and extremism as a
human being,” he began.

“What happened over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, was
just disgusting. I was watching the news like everyone else, and
you’re seeing Nazi flags and torches and white supremacists, and I
was sick to my stomach,” he said, fighting back tears.

“My daughters are in the next room playing, and I’m thinking, how
can I explain to them that there is so much hatred in this world.”
Fallon said his kids, who are two years old and four years old,
“don’t know what hate is,” need people to look up to. Not only
parents and teachers, but also “leaders who appeal to the best in
us.”

“The fact that it took the president two days to come out and
clearly denounce racists and white supremacists is shameful,” said
Fallon, like a guy who now understands what people were talking
about when they blasted him for “normalizing” Trump when he guested
on Tonight Show and took no tough questions but got a playful hair-
muss.

“I think he finally spoke out because people everywhere stood up and
said something.”

Fallon also paid tribute to Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old who was
killed in Charlottesville “standing up for what’s right.”

“We all need to stand against what is wrong, acknowledge that racism
exists, and stand up for all that is right, and civil, and kind,”
Fallon continued.

“And to show the next generation that we haven’t forgotten how hard
people have fought for human rights. We cannot do this. We can’t go
backward.”

What about then Pres. Obama's wholly inadequate response to unpotable
water, lead poisoning, continuing G.W. Bush's wars, adding new wars,
extrajudically murdering innocents (including Americans and children)
via drone?

"Even though The Tonight Show isn't a political show, it's my
responsibility to stand up against intolerance and extremism as a
human being," he began.

...when it happens under a president the corporate MSM is keen to hate
because he's proven difficult to bring under the Permanent
Government/Deep State war agenda. Far better to opportunistically try
to get rid of Pres. Trump and implicitly stump for Pres. Pence who may
be easier to support the desires of the wealthiest people.

"My daughters are in the next room playing, and I'm thinking, how
can I explain to them that there is so much hatred in this world."

How did he explain to them mere months ago when these kids were about
the same age and the Obama administration had done so little to help,
or even caused so much death and destruction?

Obama did more damage to race conditions than anyone I can think of,
including Klansmen and the Black Panthers.

Fallon said his kids, who are two years old and four years old,
"don't know what hate is," need people to look up to. Not only
parents and teachers, but also "leaders who appeal to the best in
us."

Perhaps Fallon should consider being that leader. I'd bet kids look to
their parents for moral guidance a lot more than kids look to elected
officials.

One would hope...

Like when people are alleging Pres. Trump "begrudgingly"[1] issued a
condemnation? Since we're mind-reading now, I guess I'm free to do
that too.
