Late TV’s new favorite punching bag got more hits on Tuesday night when Jimmy Kimmel spent the best part of his monologue on the latest controversy surrounding QAnon Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
“Mitch McConnell came out of his shell yesterday to distance himself from Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene,” the host said. “The minority leader of the Senate has asked her to keep ‘lying lies and conspiracy theories’.”
While McConnell did not mention Greene by name, he said anyone who pursues her outrageous beliefs is a “cancer for the party” that, in Kimmel’s words, “distracts Republicans from the important work of COVID to block relief for millions of Americans who need it. “
House Democrats on Wednesday threatened to strip Greene of her committee assignments if her own party did not even act. And Republicans are like, ‘Um, great, would you mind? We’re not going to do that. These people are crazy! ”
After recounting some of Greene’s new videos that have appeared in recent days, including one in which she compared the surviving David Hogg of Parkland School to a trained ‘dog’, Kimmel remarked that ‘Klan Mom has now claimed that she has the “full support” of Donald Trump and that they plan to meet soon.
“Uh Oh. Look out, Melania!” Kimmel joked. “She’s coming for your guy!”
