"This Seals It For Me": People Are Completely Turning On Jimmy Fallon For His Recent Talk Show Guest, And It's Not Pretty
If you're unfamiliar, Greg hosts the news and political satire show Gutfeld! on Fox. He's known for his edgy comedy style, conservative views, and making a number of controversial comments — from suggesting conservatives should reclaim the word "Nazi" like "the Blacks" reclaimed the n-word to saying crime would "disappear" in the absence of women and his "oversimplifications" in discussing the Holocaust.

He appeared on The Tonight Show on Thursday night, and while the conversation largely steered away from politics, viewers were still very annoyed at Jimmy for platforming Greg.
Taking to Reddit, one person asked, "why he's being platformed? Has anyone seen this guy's schlocky nonsense? No one ever needed to talk about him? We still don't." Another felt that "Fallon has always been a 'yes to everyone' man. The guy's got almost zero convictions."
"I fucking loathe Fallon," someone confessed, "and this is a prime example as to why." Another shared similar sentiments as they admitted, "I've never liked Fallon. At all. I like him less now."

Someone declared, "There is no defense of this. This dude is part of the tinderbox that is MAGA. Fallon having him on means I now hate Jimmy Fallon. I've given him every benefit of the doubt throughout the last 2 decades, but this seals it for me."
Other viewers were disappointed but not surprised by the interview, remembering how Jimmy famously hosted Donald Trump on The Tonight Show in 2016.
"Fallon has normalized the right's worst before," one person wrote alongside a GIF of the infamous moment when Jimmy ruffled Trump's hair. "this is nothing new."

Another questioned Jimmy's sincerity when he expressed regret for the aforementioned moment with Trump. "Remember when Fallon went on a brief redemption tour and talked about how gutted he was about normalizing Trump with that hair ruffle and how he'd been brooding about it for years? Guess he's changed his mind," they said.
Some suspected he was "trying real hard to stay off the chopping block" following the July cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
"Jimmy's afraid of getting cancelled too," one person speculated. "More kissing the ring.

However, some people didn't completely fault Jimmy. One Reddit user pointed out, "He's not the talent booker so I guess a whole bunch of people their are fascists. So gross."

Abbott vows indefinite special sessions, says fleeing Dems could face arrest ‘for literally years'
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott warned state Democrats that the threat of arrest upon returning to Texas will last "for literally years" on Sunday. Abbott made the statement during an interview on "Fox News Sunday" with host Shannon Bream. He argued it is within his authority to keep the Texas legislature in a special session indefinitely, extending the penalties for Democrats who fled the state. "I'm authorized to call a special session every 30 days. It lasts 30 days. And as soon as this one is over, I'm gonna call another one, then another one, then another, then another one," Abbott said. "If they show back up in the state of Texas, they will be arrested and taken to the Capitol. If they want to evade that arrest, they're gonna have to stay outside of the state of Texas for literally years," he added. The warning comes as Abbott is seeking to remove delinquent Democrats from office, arguing they have abdicated their roles under the state constitution. "We have a situation where lawmakers are violating the law in Article 3 of the Texas Constitution where they are required to act on bills. Because they're violating that constitutional mandate, that means they are not fulfilling their oath of office, and they can be removed from office in this legal action that I'm taking," he said. At least 100 members of the 150-member Texas House must be present to conduct business, and approximately 50 of the Democrats have left. Abbott says their commitment to voting as elected state officials is a duty and is "not optional." Most of the Democrats have set up in Illinois and New York, where they have received the backing of Democratic governors J.B. Pritzker and Kathy Hochul, respectively. Alongside Abbott's extended threat of arrest, the Republican governor has also threatened to increase the redistricting margin for his party if lawmakers don't return to Austin. "What I'm thinking now is that if they don't start showing up, I may start expanding," Abbott said during an appearance on the "Ruthless" podcast. "We may make it six or seven or eight new seats we're going to be adding on the Republican side."
