Jimmy Kimmel and Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s fierce feud rages on.

It all began last Tuesday (Nov. 21) — the night that the Republican representative’s book, MTG, was released. That eveing, Kimmel incorporated the news of the new novel into his Jimmy Kimmel Live monologue, deeming it “the first book she’s ever written or read,” per Newsweek.

“It’s got a little bit of everything,” he said. “It’s got some revisionist history, it’s got some conspiracy theories, it’s got Jewish space lasers, and of course, Marge’s famous recipe for gazpacho police in a petri dish.”

The next day (Nov. 22), Greene took to X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) and shared a clip from the late night host’s roast, where she also include a link to purchase her book.

“Hey @jimmykimmel since most of your show content is your nonstop lies about me, why don’t you have me on your show?” she wrote. “I’ll bring you a copy of my book and we can chat about what needs to happen to SAVE AMERICA!”

That all brought us to last night. On Monday’s (Nov. 27) show, Kimmel responded to Greene’s “special Thanksgiving message,” which he said he received from the congresswoman after he “mentioned that Marge has taken a break from burning books to write one.”

Taking another jab at Greene, Kimmel said, “I guess I’m a Hollywood libtard that’s part of the celebrity pedophile Satan club, until she has a book to promote. Then I’d love to swing by!”

Kimmel reminded viewers that Greene previously called the cops on him in April 2022 after he made a joke — in the wake of Will Smith‘s infamous Oscars slap — that the actor should slap her following a tweet she shared.

“And now she wants to be a guest on the show!” he added. “Though I have to admit, part of me wants to invite her here so I can let her wait for an hour down in the green room doing power squats — and then bump her. Even just to screw with Matt Damon it would be fun. But I also don’t want rabies, so…”

He then proceeded to pull up her book’s stats, noting that it was ranked “#9,846” in “Books” and “#65 in the Women’s Biography category” on Amazon.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene’s book is such a bomb I might have to report it to the Capitol Police,” he quipped.

Jimmy Kimmel Live airs weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on ABC.
