Jimmy Kimmel, the outspoken late-night host who’s been utilizing his monologues to advocate for Obamacare and stricter gun control measures in the wake of the Las Vegas massacre, had some strong words for President Trump and his eldest, fellow Twitter-loving son, Donald Trump Jr.
On Saturday morning Donald Trump criticized late-night television hosts for what he’s perceiving as unequal coverage— “Late Night hosts are dealing with the Democrats for their very ‘unfunny’ & repetitive material, always anti-Trump! Should we get Equal Time?” he tweeted.
Kimmel replied directly to the president’s personal jab, “Excellent point Mr. President! You should quit that boring job - I'll let you have my show ALL to yourself MAGA.”
Donald Trump Jr., decided to chime in and quote-tweet Kimmel’s response to his father.
“Thoughts on Harvey Weinstein? askingforafriend.” The Weinstein comment from Trump Jr. seemed odd considering that, during a 2013 radio interview on the “Opie and Anthony Show,” he suggested that women who won’t tolerate sexual harassment “don’t belong in the workforce.”
It’s being said that late-night hosts have shied away from joking about Harvey Weinstein’s rampant sexual abuse allegations in their opening segments, but Kimmel, not one to back down or remain mum, cracked to Trump Jr. “You mean that big story from the failing, liberal, one-sided nytimes? I think it is disgusting.”
Shortly thereafter, Trump Jr. replied: “Great I look forward to your monologues next week. You’re probably due for a change if only for a moment or two.”
To cap this fraught exchange off, Kimmel retorted: “Great - in the meantime, enjoy this!”, linking to the infamous Access Hollywood tape, the footage of Donald Trump on a bus, boasting about grabbing women.
