And They Wonder Why The Working Class Abandoned Them
This is what passes for late-night comedy these days.
“Trump’s got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne ‘Chuck Mike Bruce Dave’ Melon — Mullin. Maybe melon’s better,” Kimmel said. “He’s the now former senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That’s right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. It worked for Super Mario. Why not Markwayne?”
“But honestly — I mean, if Trump is going to keep picking these unqualified people to run the department, why not have more fun with it? I mean, next time instead of Markwayne, how about Lil Wayne for Homeland Security? At least we can get a concert out of it, right?”
And the left wonders why the working class has abandoned the Democrat Party.
Markwayne Mullin
Don’t you just love Kimmel’s sneering elitism? I’m sure that crack about plumbers got big belly laughs in faculty lounges, while ordinary decent people looked at each other and wondered, “What’s wrong with a plumber?”
“The elites too often look down their noses at blue collar, middle America. They try to demean a man by calling him a plumber. As if plumbing is something to be ashamed of or is somehow a lesser profession than a court jester turning tricks on late night commentary (comedy is dead). But even just calling a U.S Senator and cabinet secretary a plumber doesn’t do justice to a man, who built a successful business in a highly competitive environment that provides jobs for several plumbers actually and others that then feed many families,” Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., wrote.
Exactly.
Look, Jimmy Kimmel was never funny. Not when he hosted “The Man Show” from 1999-2004 and treated women like sleazy sex objects and not Wednesday night when he mocked the new Secretary of Homeland Security for being a tradesman.
Truth is, Markwayne Mullin’s father owned a plumbing business, his dad fell ill when Markwayne was 20 and attending Missouri Valley College on a wrestling scholarship. He dropped out of college to take over the struggling business which was $500,000 in debt.
Not only did Markwayne run the little six-man shop, he turned it into a major HVAC business that now employs 300 people. That’s 300 families with food on the table thanks to Mullin’s ingenuity.
Mullin returned to college, graduated from Oklahoma State and is presently worth an estimated $66 million.
This is probably a good place to mention that Jimmy Kimmel is a college drop out. He got an “honorary”” degree from UNLV in 2013, which means absolutely nothing.
He’s a bitter, unfunny, late-night talk show host.
Kimmel isn’t the only one in Hollywood or in politics who routinely sniggers at the working class.
The vapid superiority that drips from their lips at awards ceremonies has turned those events into unwatchable leftist struggle sessions. Then there was Hillary dismissing Trump supporters “deplorable” in 2016 and Obama mocking rural Americans whom he derided for “clinging to their Bibles and their guns.”
Members of America’s royal left routinely express their disdain for normal, hard-working Americans. They mock us for wanting lower taxes while they push for boys in girls’ bathrooms. They rub our noses in their twisted notions about gender, parade their mentally ill, mutilated children around like designer accessories, insist that illegal immigration is good for America and they shrug when illegal gangbangers kill American girls. They also ignore the urban hellscape that their soft-on-crime policies have created.
What do these swells care about the working class? They have private security, they live in gated communities, they can easily move to low-tax states when the government takes too much of their wealth.
But you know what? When they have a car problem, they call a mechanic. When they build a mansion, they hire carpenters. And when a plumbing problem presents itself they call a plumber.
Unlike the Jimmy Kimmels of the world, the American working class knows how things work and can fix them.
We can live happy Iives without snarky late-night comics. We wouldn’t last long without plumbers.
