J M I think the point is, it doesn't HAVE to be a Christian bible, but it CAN be...basically, when you're sworn in, you choose the holy book of whatever religion you practice, so for Christians, it would be the bible, for muslims, it would be the Quran, for Hindus, it would be the Gita...get it?
Purvi Patel doesn't even have to be a holy book. Doesn't actually have to be _anything._ Teddy Roosevelt was sworn in on thin air after McKinley's assassination.
Yeah! Soros still knows how to fix an election. No military votes recorded, write ins deleted, first Democrat in 25 years in a state overwhelmingly for Trump 2016.
I have been so embarrassed by the state of Alabama the few years I have lived here for school But tonight, for the first time, I am so proud of this state for electing Doug Jones instead of Roy Moore.
It is only by something like 13 thousand more votes though. That does mean a lot of Republican voters crossed party lines to keep a predator out of office, which is great to see and something to be proud of, but the difference is still so little. He won with a lot of major groups, too. It's a victory, but just barely. :(
Elisabeth May Yes, it's true. Alabama elected the best candidate here....by a very slim margin. The funny thing about Americans to me is how we look down on the South as if it's the only backwards part of the US, when the whole thing was founded on White supremacy. Maine was the largest slave state before slavery ended in the North. Oregon (where I live) was in no way a slave state, but it was intended to be a White utopia. It was illegal to live here while being black. Native folks never faired well nor any other non White people. In fact Oregon's lash laws were just taken off the books in the early 2000's. (Look up Oregon lash laws). The truth is all US states are racist as hell, but their particular way of expressing their racism varries. The outcome always bad for non White people, though. I also went to school in Alabama ( Oakwood University - Huntsville) The only place anyone ever threatened to lynch me was in Vancouver, WA. That's the American way. We live in North America and speak a European language. And the native people of America after centuries are still subject to this country, instead of running things on their own turf.
Ryne Green Thank You God for putting a true child of yours in the senate to bring our country back together Lord through you leadership Father. Yay Jones Jones Jones. Now ladies go get More this false witness of God has now been shown truth will overcome lies every time.
Thank you, but it had more to do with our black brothers and sisters pulling it out. Despite a majority population, we whites who voted for Doug Jones were a minority.
Ace Walrus I’m gonna be judge mental towards people who would rather support a child predator because they don’t want their party to lose a senate seat.
Ace Walrus then that’s a shame. Learn how your government works beyond the highlights they give you at school. Know the people that are forming your laws and voting on them. It’s your country and your future, learn and help make it better.
Someone needs to take Jon Stewarts spot going after the media/politicians since Trevor Noah is boring as hell. Colberts alright but can't go into full character where he really shines and compares to Stewart.
I think Jimmy fills a good apolitical role. I don't know Jimmy Kimmel's politics and I don't need to, but he can call stupid like it is. I hate that calling idiots, idiots is a political statement now.
My least favourite people are the people who act like they deserve a pat on the back for not being racist 😂 “two of them were BLACK” Congratulations?? 😂
Such a weird concept. Thats called tokenism isnt it? Where you claim to be accepting by having just one or more of an oppressed people group so you dont seem opressive?
Awaken Israelite Iproveallwithscriptures how does that make me racist? What I’m saying is acceptance and diversity should be normal, it’s a foreign concept to me that people want to show of how not racist they are, because where I’m from it’s normal to be not racist it’s not a special skill that you deserve applause for
American politics is funnier than anything on Comedy Central now! (Not sure if these are tears of laughter I've been shedding or tears of sadness and disgrace but.. I'm certainly entertained.)
As a normally cynical person....I choose to focus on the positives with this one.....yea it is sad that so many people still voted for Moore...but if I chose to focus on how depressing that is after so many depressing moments in politics lately....than i might just bite a bullet. Nonetheless, this is definitely a win no matter how you want to put it....we gotta start somewhere right?
Drago Sad? The Dems haven't won a seat here since 92. Even the orange moron took this state with ease. If they can win Alabama they can win anywhere in 2018.
ROTFL 😂😂😂😂😂 that last part was so funny ! I can't stop laughing at that guy , he actually looked stunned and couldn't find anything to say. Oh my goodness that was the ultimate clip of 2017 .
I just want to say CONGRATS ALABAMA! You have shown the country you know better!
Troy8769 Alabama is a disgrace to the country
Troy8769 the results are too close for comfort for me.
Verene Kerst Why?
Thank God there actually is a shred of decency and hope left in the US.
Jones wins. Thank you Alabama.
the look on his face when told that you don't have to be sworn in on a christian bible was priceless.
put trump on admin leave I know it was hilarious
Trump swore on the bible to be the president of all American's I guess he didn't remember that?
J M I think the point is, it doesn't HAVE to be a Christian bible, but it CAN be...basically, when you're sworn in, you choose the holy book of whatever religion you practice, so for Christians, it would be the bible, for muslims, it would be the Quran, for Hindus, it would be the Gita...get it?

Purvi Patel doesn't even have to be a holy book. Doesn't actually have to be _anything._ Teddy Roosevelt was sworn in on thin air after McKinley's assassination.
Thank you, people of Alabama!
*Black people in Alabama saved us
Roy Moore lost!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes there is still hope in humanity!!!!!!!
De Libertatem Hope never dies
People treat this senate race like its the end of the world lol
De Libertatem 1. Probably because Moore went at Jimmy on Twitter lol and 2. I think Jimmy is Jewish no? He probably took offense to it
De Libertatem There's ALWAYS hope.
Yeah! Soros still knows how to fix an election. No military votes recorded, write ins deleted, first Democrat in 25 years in a state overwhelmingly for Trump 2016.
I have been so embarrassed by the state of Alabama the few years I have lived here for school
But tonight, for the first time, I am so proud of this state for electing Doug Jones instead of Roy Moore.
You're soooooo right ,thank you Alabama.
Elisabeth May I heard a young woman speak similar words earlier today. Today, Alabama has given me hope. I wish you all the best.
It is only by something like 13 thousand more votes though. That does mean a lot of Republican voters crossed party lines to keep a predator out of office, which is great to see and something to be proud of, but the difference is still so little.

God bless you Alabama for not going with Roy Moore.
Ryne Green yeah but it was uncomfortably close like it was 49% to 48%
Ryne Green Thank You God for putting a true child of yours in the senate to bring our country back together Lord through you leadership Father. Yay Jones Jones Jones. Now ladies go get More this false witness of God has now been shown truth will overcome lies every time.
Ryne Green Don't give Alabama credit, they fought hard to elect a sex predator and a corrupt traitor, Trump.
Amen Ryan Green, Amen
Thank you, but it had more to do with our black brothers and sisters pulling it out. Despite a majority population, we whites who voted for Doug Jones were a minority.
You can't make this stuff up
I keep hoping to wake up in a Netflix drama, just to get some sanity and no Hannity
4c1dr3fl3x That's funny.
Seriously, a three-ring circus...
Antwan Pena yes you can though
Antwan Pena and CNN is supposed to be fake news
FIRST DEMOCRATIC SENATOR IN 20 YEARS!!! I LOVE YOU ALABAMA, Well.. 49% of you.
Jonathan Alvarez I think it's despicable that people are so judge mental and cruel towards people who vote for their opposing candidate
Ace Walrus I’m gonna be judge mental towards people who would rather support a child predator because they don’t want their party to lose a senate seat.
Danielle L Amen!
Danielle L oh and btw I can't even vote so I don't really care for either
Ace Walrus then that’s a shame. Learn how your government works beyond the highlights they give you at school. Know the people that are forming your laws and voting on them. It’s your country and your future, learn and help make it better.
"Two were black". Wow, associating with black people. how brave.
So this woman thinks she deserves praise for... not being racist?
Beckett Martin theyd bash her if she was
Beckett Martin "But then one recovered" were the next words I was expecting her to utter after her head twisted 360 degrees.
Beckett Martin I'll give her a cookie
If Tapper doesn't win an Oscar for that straight face, all is still wrong with the world.
Congrats Alabama!!! An early Christmas gift to us all!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Amy Godwin some*
*Black people in Alabama saved us
Sc j so some
Right...They didn't know it was a brothel until they walked in.
Because it's made up.... maybe tipped by Trump!
Roy Moore has to leave to get cash coz brothel with underage girls are CASH only, so...
Didnt you know that people often confuse brothel for malls and vice versa?
Only Roy Moore knows where the unmarked brothel is.
Ally Hosenbokus at least Roy Moore seems to, lol!
Jones won! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Really did he win???
MsLansones please tell me did he really? im serioulsy asking
Shava Chihera yes
MsLansones 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Uriel Bautista hell yeah!!!
I love that Jimmy has become so savage these days!!! Love it!!!
A Mess yeah it looks like he just got tired of the bullshit and said enough is enough
Someone needs to take Jon Stewarts spot going after the media/politicians since Trevor Noah is boring as hell.
Colberts alright but can't go into full character where he really shines and compares to Stewart.
I think Jimmy fills a good apolitical role. I don't know Jimmy Kimmel's politics and I don't need to, but he can call stupid like it is. I hate that calling idiots, idiots is a political statement now.
I like it too. Jimmy has usually stayed out of the fray. I am glad he's changed.
A Mess I think Jimmy has the balls to roast every horrible person who wants to run for the Senate, house of representatives or house honestly.
Wonderful news, there are decent people in Alabama. Thank God these people made it possible to keep the creep out of the US Senate. Good for you all.
thank you black queens saving the day as alwaysss. ✊✊👏👏👏👏
Black women magic
Tanny Smalls voodo witchcraft
❤️❤️❤️
What's wrong with voodoo witchcraft? Sounds darkly sensual alluring and beautiful to me.
avedic believe me it is anything you just describe and more
Can someone tell me the IQ of the guy talking about the bibles? I have never laughed so hard. In fact, I'm still laughing.
Jee someone sounds salty😉😉⬆⬆
Hollywood T Y’all lost!!!😂😂😂
Doug Jones won
Abraham Urrutia hell yes!
oh my god really???? thank god.....i really thought he'll won!!!! congratulations Alabama!!
Abraham Urrutia i
Sweet Home Alabama!
They stepped up and did the right thing! #NOMOORE
Susan LaDuke Well a little over half of those who voted did so.
Thank you Alabama you have Spoken👏👏👏
And Jones for the win!
OMG, thank you for the good news! OMG, YAAAAASSSSS Alabama! :D
Bunnyontherocks He could only win from scandal🤣🤣🤣
It's the fate of the country, not football
Bunnyontherocks You seriously only found out here? You clearly didn't care then
I know 4 little angels are smiling down on Doug Jones' victory.
wheelwatcher05 Yes I agree. God bless Jones and his family.
I agree too. God bless those precious children and God bless Doug Jones and his family ❤️
This comment made me tear up a little...
So proud of people of Alabama!!!
Catherine Vought Thank you!!!!!!🎉😄🎉😎🎉😎🎉😄
The black women of Alabama you mean🙂
You shouldn't be, Alabama is still filled with people like the guy at 5:45.
That last clip was AMAZING! Ahahahahaha! Glad I stayed to watch the whole video.
DiminutiveFlower its incredible that this wasnt an snl skit!
Jimmy Kimmel has never been this roasty toasty. xD
I know I loved it
Moore lost... god bless!
Tania Haldar r u kidding me tell me its true please!!!!
mrhypnagogia yes it is!! Im so pleasantly surprised!
Tania Haldar OMG!
Tania Haldar oh thank god.
Tania Haldar OMG thank you god! Super good surprise
Who ever that guy was that Tapper interviewed , He wasnt playing with a full deck
Aaron Bolt And he is one of the smart one.
Sad, but true!
... that is an elected official.
Aaron Bolt , I think that guy was Ted Crockett. The one with an open mouth after he was told that you don’t have use a bible to be sworn into office.
YES!!! DOUG JONES!!
That dude at the end had his mindblown. 😂😂😂
Finnick Rinzler Didn't he tho😂😂😂
DOUG JONES...😁😁😁
dang jake tapper destroyed that dude
My least favourite people are the people who act like they deserve a pat on the back for not being racist 😂 “two of them were BLACK” Congratulations?? 😂
Such a weird concept. Thats called tokenism isnt it? Where you claim to be accepting by having just one or more of an oppressed people group so you dont seem opressive?
Jakob M the funny part is that that doesn't prove that they are not racist!
Jakob M ... And hurray! They aren't anti-Semitic because they have "a Jew" for a lawyer. Mrs. Moore was so proud. But YAY for Jones! Alabama did it!
Lmao wow. Ridiculous
Awaken Israelite Iproveallwithscriptures how does that make me racist? What I’m saying is acceptance and diversity should be normal, it’s a foreign concept to me that people want to show of how not racist they are, because where I’m from it’s normal to be not racist it’s not a special skill that you deserve applause for
That last be killed me 😂
6:10 IM DEAD!😂
Lord Beerus I'm watching this for the 3rd time
Lord Beerus YOU CAN SEE THE GEARS TURNING
I'm dying lmao
And why do even non-americans know that, but he doesn't?!
If you look closely there's smoke coming out of his ears. I think he had a brain blow out.
Downloading 33mb to "hate" folder, 4 seconds left...Please wait
Flabbergasted
Thank the Lord!!
Stacey Oswald the Lord. Really? King James version? I wish you knew your bible. The real one.
Ange Waters you're correct I'll fix it. My old phone always corrected it.
you are grateful AND gracious, +Stacey Oswald. Kudos to you ;)
Amen.
1:57 man that smiles on Moore's face unsettles me
JONES WON!!!✌🏽🥂🍾
American politics is funnier than anything on Comedy Central now! (Not sure if these are tears of laughter I've been shedding or tears of sadness and disgrace but.. I'm certainly entertained.)
ekaiLo Pretty sure your country aint any better...
ekaiLo It's really not funny at all. Lives truly are on the line. Late night comedy is hilarious.
ekaiLo
...there's the holidays to look forward to😕.
MerryChristmas🎄🎅, babe
the daily show is on comedy Central and they are all about politics. best show out there after last week tonight
You don't have to swear at all you can simply affirm your oath, no requirement for deities to be considered at all.
You are making a big difference Jimmy Kimmel. Thank you for the laughter and sending the right message out at the same time.
JONES
this was gold. like one of the best roasting so far. lol.
DECENCY WON!!!!
So happy for this. Thanks Alabama
Doug Jones won!!
God dang Alabama did the right thing!! 👏👏
Brilliant! Love ya, Jimmy. And thank you Alabama for doing the right thing.
Jones won by only 2% that’s kind of sad
Drago Mcnants Sad, but we will take it. Miracles can happen in Alabama. Never thought I would say that...
Drago Mcnants Your right. But thank God for a win.
Drago Mcnants 200,000 votes were suppressed in Alabama. Always Vote. Always.
As a normally cynical person....I choose to focus on the positives with this one.....yea it is sad that so many people still voted for Moore...but if I chose to focus on how depressing that is after so many depressing moments in politics lately....than i might just bite a bullet.

Drago Sad? The Dems haven't won a seat here since 92. Even the orange moron took this state with ease. If they can win Alabama they can win anywhere in 2018.
They make us look like idiots....Please do not think we are all like that
The surprise on his face when he was told that the law doesn't require him to swear on a bible is so telling about who they are electing in Alabama...
Now that really is a WTF moment! lol
YES LOOK AT THE LIKES vs DISLIKES.
Thank you, Jimmy, for giving this issue so much more attention and opening people's eyes!!
Yes... Sweet Home Alabama... Young girls in Washington can now RELAX 😈
His supporters were called "Moore-ons". Best line of the entire segment!
Thanks Alabama for reminding me why I should always be proud to be an American.
Tapper best mic drop of 2017
The dumbfounded expression on that guys face was priceless.
Love you Jimmy and thank you Alabama. We will not forget this
Ok Alabama I'll give you this one.
So embarrassing
Santa gave an early present to the Senate lol
Look at how proud she is to saw that. She is just absolutely oblivious
What happened to innocent until proven guilty. It’s getting out of hand
5:27 funniest moment watch it till the end
Angela C he killed me😂when he was shocked
Jimmy's taking his delivery up a notch or two. I like it.
6:11 - That is the face definition of the republican party hahahaha
Lucas Peruzzi Beautiful 👍
Best ever example of a human experiencing "Error 101: Does not compute".
Thanks to Alabama.
*puts away noose * ah good news for once in the hell hole
.7% was the margin of Victory. Let that sink in before we start congratulating Alabama
Hey it's a victory nonetheless. I'll take the W.
Same thing I was thinking.
Dude the fact you are even using the word Victory is a victory itself. We have to be grateful for what we get man.
😔 you right😟😧😲😵😰😨😧😥😱😞😢😕
Yes but it shows how you can energize voters. Moore has a special place in hell lined up - of the sort he believes in.
Dude, you are killing it man!!! Great job tonight!
Most not all americans are proud of alabama tonite! Thank You ALABAMA ! Tiger fans this isnt for the school but for the state ROLL ON TIDE!
Congratulations from Boston XO well done Alabama!
*"The Moore-ons"*
Basically, a majority of Alabama voters decided... they don't want to be seen as another Florida...
Thank you so much !!👍🏻👍🏽👍🏾👍🏼👍
It is so embarrassing, I cannot even watch the full clip without stopping . How we got here?
Proud of Alabama, you did good.
Doug Jones wins!!! Praise Jesus!
Amen.
6:31 his tiny little mind is just blown! Lol
A Jewish lawyer, what....?
Chris Madaris A ✡!
as an Alabamian all I can say is I'm sorry
Awesome monologue!! Keep them coming!!
At least Alabama got their act straight and went for the better of the two...GREAT JOB!!!!
"Roy turned to me and said: Let's just stay for one drink." or something like that...
The comedy almost wrote itself. But so sad for this country.
When someone go's full on crazy smile you back away slowly
Right On! Happy Chrismukkah! :)
I am afraid to see the results
Ingrid P Doug Jones has won, my friend!
Ingrid P you can sleep well tonight. Jones won!!!!
Ingrid P don’t worry Roy Moore lost!
The sad part is that it was close.
Shady Shinichi not in the metropolitan areas tho. Jones got about 65% in the major cities.
"She has closer contact with kids than I do." Highlight of the video.
That spokesman interview is a comedy gold, i never knew that such a serious interview can result on very funny situation
Mall staff for jones 😋
LOL (;
Schoolgirls for jones
Best monologue in a long time.
Good job Alabama you don't seem as racist now :) I might go visit you guys one day
Jake Tapper deserves credit for keeping such a strait face.
That was hysterical. Was his one black supporter with the clock for real?
cant stop laughing "u can choose whatever you want" XD those Reps
I could seriously loop the part where Jimmy mimics Kayla Moore over and over again. It's wonderful.
I just wanted to know who are those people still voted for Moore.
Deplorables
Apparently a majority of Alabama whites...🙁
ROTFL 😂😂😂😂😂 that last part was so funny ! I can't stop laughing at that guy , he actually looked stunned and couldn't find anything to say. Oh my goodness that was the ultimate clip of 2017 .
