Kimmel mocked Kirk’s conspiratorial thinking and highlighted the absurdity of his claims, pointing out the lack of evidence supporting them. He played clips of Kirk’s comments, dissecting the logic behind his accusations and emphasizing the dangerous implications of spreading unfounded theories, especially in the wake of a tragedy.
