Jimmy Kimmel hits back after getting called out on right-wing media
Jimmy Kimmel is no stranger to receiving criticism from the right, with most of it coming straight from the president himself — and this week brought more of the same.
In the clip above, the host plays footage of Newsmax's Rob Finnerty slamming Kimmel for making light of the fact that the new Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, used to be a plumber.
"Let me make this very clear," responds Kimmel. "I'm not upset that the Head of Homeland Security used to be a plumber. I'm upset that he isn't still a plumber."
Kimmel goes on to play footage of various TV reporters on the right making fun of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her past work as a bartender.
"Well, on behalf of bartenders everywhere, we anxiously await your apology," says Kimmel.
