Jimmy Kimmel Brings Family to LA 'ICE OUT' Rally, Rebuts 'Paid Agitators' Claim

His posts challenge claims protesters were paid, highlighting homemade signs.

Overview

  • Kimmel shared an Instagram photo from a South Bay, Los Angeles 'ICE OUT' protest he attended with wife Molly McNearney and their children.
  • The family held signs reading "Deport ICE" and "Raise Good Girls and Pretti Boys," referencing the recent deaths of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.
  • He captioned the post, "so many paid agitators (AKA patriotic Americans)," and his son held a "Paid Agitator" sign that echoed the caption.
  • On his Tuesday show, Kimmel said "millions of Americans" protested nationwide, reported seeing no professionally made signs or paid demonstrators, and highlighted a sign calling President Trump a "Super callous fragile racist sexist Nazi POTUS."
  • Trump has alleged protesters are paid and use professionally made signs, and he directed federal agencies to protect federal buildings "very powerfully" while withholding broader assistance to cities unless requested.
