Jimmy Kimmel Calls Off Ceasefire, Takes Shot at Sean Hannity

Jimmy Kimmel seemingly ended his ceasefire with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night after he took aim at the anchor and other personalities on the network for being what he believes is too deferential to what the president suggests.

“If Trump said, ‘Robert Mueller is a lizard who came here from space to destroy America,’ based on how things are going so far, I have to believe that Sean Hannity and Lou Dobbs and those dummies on Fox & Friends, would jump in and go, ‘Yes, Robert Mueller is an iguana. He’s an iguana who’s been living in a terrarium in the Obama family den.’”

Kimmel apologized to Hannity early last month in a statement on Twitter for making “harmful” comments in a previous back-and-forth over a skit by Kimmel poking fun at the first lady’s Slovenian accent.

“The vile attacks against my wife and wishes for death on my infant son are shocking and I encourage those who made them to give their words and actions thought,” Kimmel wrote after the last battle with Hannity. “I, too, will give my words more thought and recognize my role in inciting their hatefulness.”
