Jimmy Kimmel Live! usually has Fridays off, but the show airs new episodes on Fridays when Monday is a holiday. So Kimmel was able to react on his Friday show to the police brutality rioting on Thursday night that continued through Friday over the officer-involved killing of George Floyd. "Unfortunately, this is the loop we get stuck in: It goes from 'it isn't right to kill an unarmed man' to 'it also isn't right to loot and set fires and attack the police, too,'" he said of the ensuing rhetoric around the protests. "Last night there were senseless acts of violence that were brought on by a senseless act of violence. And it just keeps going in a loop." After criticizing President Trump's response, Kimmel said: "I especially want to pose this question to older people who have seen this before in this country, who have lived this nightmare of race riots already, in the '60s and '70s, '80s, now. Is this who you want leading us? A president who clearly and intentionally inflames violence in the middle of a riot to show how tough he is? I don't care what you are, right, left, Republican, Democrat, something else. Enough is enough. We've got to vote this guy out already."
