The back-and-forth between Jimmy Kimmel and the Trump administration continued on Thursday night as the late night host took aim at Vice President JD Vance for slamming Kimmel’s audience.
The war of words began earlier this week when Kimmel joked about Elon Musk’s plummeting Tesla stock in the wake of his DOGE cuts on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Sean Hannity and the Right came out hard against the late night host, and Kimmel doubled down on Thursday night as he played clips of Fox News hosts and guests threatening anyone who vandalizes a Tesla with violence in return.
“But if you try to taser a cop on the steps of the capital, we’ve got your back,” Kimmel quipped before he made a nod to MAGA’s similar Bud Light boycott (and the hypocrisy therein) and then segued into a segment about Vance.
