During an episode of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” the talk-show host proposed a question to his viewers about the students who survived the massacre, adding that individuals who think they’re actors are “crazy.”

“I want you to consider this, especially if you are a Trump supporter or a member of the NRA, do you really think these kids, these teenagers who spoke out after a shooting at their school, are actors who are part of some kind of deep-state, left-wing conspiracy?” Kimmel asked, referring to the National Rifle Association.

“If the answer is ‘Yes, I do believe that,’ I have some bad news for you: You’re crazy. You’re a crazy person. Your brain is not functioning. And I’m worried about you.”

Seventeen people were killed in the shooting, which reignited the gun debate in the United States. But some social media users have pushed false accusations that the students speaking out after the attack are actors.

Kimmel during his show urged viewers to stand up for the students, many of whom have become outspoken advocates for gun law reforms in recent days.

“But here’s the thing: If you aren’t crazy, which most of you aren’t, and you agree that accusing teenagers of being part of some sort of diabolical underground government scheme is nuts, you can’t just sit there and let these scumbags spread these lies about these kids,” Kimmel said.
