Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel sharply criticizes President Donald Trump for comments suggesting Iran could bomb California, including the prospect of striking Los Angeles. In remarks aired by multiple outlets, Kimmel calls the suggestion “indefensible” and says he would report the president to the FCC.
Kimmel’s response comes amid broader political backlash. Several reports note that the comments also draw disapproval from Democrat leaders, who characterize the remarks as alarming and inappropriate. The coverage focuses on Kimmel’s public rebuke and his reaction to the specific idea of Iranian attacks targeting U.S. cities, particularly those governed by Democrats.
While outlets vary in wording—some emphasize Kimmel’s “report him to the FCC” line and others highlight his description of the comments as “truly appalling”—all describe the same sequence: Trump makes the remark about an Iran strike reaching California, and Kimmel responds on-air with strong condemnation. The incident remains framed as a dispute over rhetoric and the perceived implications for U.S. security and political leadership.
