ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel may have the week off on TV, but that didn’t stop him from repeating one of his favorite lines about supporters of President Trump’s agenda being bad Christians and wondering how they can go to church. This time the conversation revolved around deporting illegal immigrants and took place on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast that was released on Wednesday but taped before Kimmel got himself suspended for remarks about the political affiliation of Charlie Kirk’s assassin.

As Kimmel invoked Jesus to defend his position, he did so with a rather unbiblical analogy, “A lot of people who are watching that show [The Ellen DeGeneres Show] in the Midwest, maybe didn't know somebody who was openly gay. Right. And so they are against gay marriage. They see it as, you know, against their religion or whatever for whatever reason, and they're against it. But then they get to know somebody like Ellen, and they go, ‘Well, she seems okay.’ And then they say, ‘Well, now I feel like I have a friend who's—or, you know, one of their children comes out, and they suddenly have a different perspective on that.”
Kimmel then dishonestly claimed, “It seems like the perspective— this like ‘we've got to stop the immigrants’ are coming from places that don't have a lot of them, you know.”
