Jimmy Kimmel's Baby for President

Warning: If you're out and about right now and you hate crying in public, don't watch this Jimmy Kimmel bit about his newborn son's open-heart surgery. I first watched it on YouTube on my phone while walking down the sidewalk (I know, that sucks and I won't do it again, promise). I couldn't stop the tears in time to hide indoors, and I'm definitely someone who gets mortified at public waterworks. The story that Kimmel, 50, tells about what he, his wife Molly McNearney (she's 39), and their newborn baby went through ripped me apart. I hope it'll do the same for members of Congress who are hell-bent on signing the horrifying Trumpcare bill.

Key Kimmel quote: "If your baby is going to die, and it doesn't have to, it shouldn't matter how much money you make." Watch at your own risk. But please do watch, if you haven't seen this already.

Jimmy and his wife Molly welcomed their second child together, William "Billy" Kimmel. At three days old, Billy had successful open heart surgery at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and is now home with his family. Jimmy opens up about his son's birth and health complications and encourages donations to Children's Hospital Los Angeles where Billy and so many other kids get such wonderful care...
