Desperate MAGA Finds New Way to Go After Jimmy Kimmel

A top MAGA figure is trying out a ridiculous new method of going after Jimmy Kimmel.

Kimmel has found himself in MAGA’s crosshairs of late for ill-timed jokes about mortality. First, he said Melania Trump had the “glow of an expectant widow” days before President Donald Trump was caught up in an apparent assassination attempt. Now, Kimmel is being slammed for a joke about the Trumpy former New York City mayor, Rudy Giuliani.

“So last night, America’s mayor, Rudy Giuliani, rose from the grave to weigh in on the ongoing drama involving me,” the late-night host said in a monologue on Tuesday, referencing his joke about the first lady. Giuliani had called Kimmel “one of the most distasteful human beings in this country” for his Melania joke.

Five days later, Giuliani’s spokesman announced that the 81-year-old had been hospitalized and was in a critical condition. MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson has suggested a link between Kimmel’s jokes and the health scares that have come afterward.

“After making Trump assassination jokes, Jimmy Kimmel joked about Rudy Giuliani last week, saying he ‘rose from the grave.’ It was just announced tonight that Rudy was hospitalized and is in critical condition,” he wrote on X on Sunday. “Why is Kimmel always joking about death?”

It hardly qualifies as "bread and circuses."

I would suggest you refrain from calling Democrats a "Blue Circus." This is a discussion board for Democrats.
