Jimmy Kimmel Reacts To Marjorie Taylor Greene Calling The Cops On Him Over Joke

Jimmy Kimmel spent the beginning of his opening remarks during ABC‘s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night by addressing the ongoing feud between him and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The conflict began when Kimmel made a joke on Tuesday night, implying that Will Smith should slap Greene for a tweet she had posted. This, of course, was in reference to Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.

Greene responded by reporting Kimmel to the Capitol police, which Kimmel found just a tad bit hypocritical.

“She called the same police she voted against giving a Congressional Gold Medal to for defending our Capitol against the insurrection she helped incite on January 6th,” Kimmel said. “That’s who she called, the people she wanted to defund. It’s amazing how quickly you can go from, ‘These liberals, you can’t say anything anymore’ to ‘What did you say? I’m calling the cops.’”

Prior to Kimmel’s Thursday remarks, the public figures traded responses on Twitter. In one tweet, Greene accused Kimmel of attempting to incite violence against her, which was too much for Kimmel to let slide.

“Not only don’t I condone death or any kind of threats against anyone,” he said. “Especially as I get dozens of them a week myself from the sickos who align with you, I also find it very rich that a person who did this in her campaign ad is suddenly whining about fantasies of violence.”

He added: “She’s the one who endorsed fringe conspiracy theories and repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians,”

“Now she’s dialing 911 because she got made fun of. She’s a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time. A snowciopath.”
