“It was a terrible night for women, for children, for hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants who make this go, um…,” he took a long pause as he tried to hold back his tears. 

“More than half of this country voted for the criminal who is planning to pardon himself for his crimes. I guess this election wasn’t rigged,” he said. 

“For healthcare, for our climate, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech,” Kimmel continued.

Kimmel added that it's “really good night” for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and “lovable billionaires like Elon Musk.”
