Left-wing comedian and correspondent on The Daily Show, Ronny Chieng, has described ‘MAGA’ Donald Trump supporters as “Fucking Morons.”
He made the remarks during an appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, in which he was asked about his experience covering President Donald Trump landslide victory.
He said — “Covering the election live in America was both a dream come true as a political historian junkie, a U.S. political history junkie, and was also like watching a car slowly crash into the country and there’s not much you can do about it at that point other than make dumb jokes about it.”
The comedian Cheing said he has nothing to do with conservatives and doesn’t want to, but claimed those who align with Trump are not very bright.
“There’s nothing inherently evil or bad about the conservative mindset,” he continued. “I just think that we would like to have conservatives who aren’t fucking morons.”
“Just be smart, just intelligent, reasonable,” he added.
Both Kimmel and the audience laughed hysterically before bursting into a round of applause.
Chieng, who also starred in the 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians, says his love for American has led him to make friends with some MAGA friends.
“I’m trying,” he said. “That’s how much I love America I’m making friends with MAGA people.”
He also said about his friends “It’s so convoluted I can’t get to what their core issue is because the surface-level messaging is so chaotic,” he explained. “Sometimes my MAGA friends will say, ‘Ronnie, China caused COVID, but COVID isn’t real,’ and I’m like, ‘OK, well, I don’t know how I feel about that.’”

Kimmel, meanwhile, is also licking his wounds after throwing his weight behind Kamala Harris.
The night after Trump’s spectacular victory, Kimmel choked up on air as he talked about how illegal aliens will be affected by his return to the White House.
“Let’s be honest: it was a terrible night last night,” he said, choking back the tears. “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants who make this country go.”
In the aftermath of the November 5 election, some Democrat leaders have acknowledged that their party’s condescending and arrogant tone toward working class Americans played a major role in driving away that key demographic.
