Late night TV’s new favorite punching bag had a few more hits on Tuesday night, when Jimmy Kimmel spent most of his monologue investigating the latest controversy surrounding QAnon Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA ).
“Mitch McConnell emerged from his shell yesterday to distance himself from Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene,” said the host. “The Senate minority leader called on her for clinging to ‘crazy lies and conspiracy theories’.”
Although McConnell did not mention Greene by name, he said that anyone who defends his outrageous beliefs is “cancer in the party” that, in Kimmel’s words, is “distracting Republicans from the important work of blocking COVID’s aid to millions of people. Americans who need this. “
On Wednesday, House Democrats are threatening to remove Greene from his committee duties if his own party does not act first. “And Republicans are like, ‘Um, great, would you mind? We are not going to do that. These people are crazy! “
After reporting some of Greene’s new videos that have appeared in the past few days, including one in which she compared the survivor of the Parkland school shooting David Hogg to a trained “dog”, Kimmel noted that “Klan Mom” now claims that she is “full support” of Donald Trump and they plan to meet soon.
“Uh oh. Watch out, Melania! ”Kimmel joked. “She’s coming for your guy!”
