text: Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel stepped right into it on Thursday evening. While Kimmel has spent a lot of the week calling out President Donald Trump and the NRA, this time he decided to take his attacks to a whole new level. Instead of going after the president or an organization, he attacked millions of Americans who don't support gun control. Kimmel tweeted: Dear crazies: it is fascinating that 500 innocent people get shot and your anger is directed at me. Think about that https://t.co/TTMxEcjdbZ Kimmel calling gun owners crazies backfired on the celebrity big time: It's fascinating that Stephen Paddock shot over 500 people and you are blaming guns and politicians. One and only one person to blame. I use to watch u every nite. Stopped that when u became not funny, &amp; think your celeb status can use it for Your political agenda. I'm a longtime fan jimmy, sometimes it seems like you are talking down to us and or lecturing. Please stick to making us laugh. Oh sweetie, it might be a good idea to do some research prior to assigning blame to the wrong people. Facts matter! A DISNEY SHAREHOLDER WHO IS ABOUT TO START COMPLAINING ABOUT YOU. LOUDLY. Stop the rants. Stick to comedy. Politics is NOT your forte So only you have compassion. Only you feel sorrow. Only you care about innocent life. But 100 million who support their rights are crazies. It's crazy to hop on your platform to cudgel &amp; shame innocent people for an act by a madman, then call them crazy when they get mad at you. Kimmel hasn't issued an apology for his statement. But it appears that fans would appreciate it he stayed out politics and stuck to comedy. Their fiery response to his remark really says it all.
