TV host Jimmy Kimmel has hit back at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she reported him to the Capitol Police for a joke he made about Will Smith slapping her.
Kimmel, speaking in a Kimmel Live segment titled ‘Jimmy vs. Klan Mom’ last night, said: ‘She’s dialing 911 because she got made fun of. She’s a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time.
‘A snowciopath, as we’ll refer to her from now on… If she’s going to report me to the police, if that’s how she wants to play it, I’ll report you right back.’
Georgia Republican Greene yesterday tweeted that she had reported Kimmel to the Capitol Police for making a ‘threat of violence’ against her with the joke.
She quoted a clip from Kimmel Live where the comedian said: ‘This one Klan mom is especially upset with the three Republican senators who said they’ll vote yes on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.’
He then read Greene’s tweet about the Supreme Court nominee. ‘Murkowski, Collins and Romney are pro-pedophile. They just voted for #KBJ.’
‘Wow where is Will Smith when you really need him, huh?’
Kimmel shot back after Greene’s police report: ‘Officer? I would like to report a joke.’
Greene responded: ‘You weren’t joking. You hide your misogny and your racism behind your ‘jokes’ on @ABC. This was a dog whistle to the violent left to assault me or worse, and your already inspiring fantasies against me. How many new death threats will I get that are your fans?’

Kimmel, speaking on his show last night, said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was ‘a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time’ as he vowed to report her to the justice league after she called the Capitol Police on him for a joke he made about Will Smith slapping her
Greene has been banned from Twitter on her personal account for sharing anti-vaccine conspiracies but used her congressional account to share the message.
A number of Republicans went after Jackson over what they called lenient sentencing in child porn cases during her time as a trial judge. Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock last week on stage at the Oscars for making a joke about his wife.
Kimmel last night hit back at ‘probably the worst woman in American politics’ over his ‘brouhaha’ with Georgia Rep. Greene after she reported him to the Capitol Police.
He pointed to the apparent hypocrisy that Green had complained to the ‘people she wanted to defund… the same police she voted against giving a congressional gold medal to for defending our Capitol against the insurrection she helped incite on January 6.
‘It’s amazing how quickly you can go from, “These liberals, you can’t say anything anymore,” to “What did you say? I’m calling the cops!” This must be that cancel culture they’re always talking about!’
‘I do not condone death or any kind of threats against anyone because I get dozens of them a week myself from the sickos that align with you,’ Kimmel added, before slamming Greene, who posed holding a gun for a campaign ad, for hypocrisy.
‘I also find it very rich that a person who did this in her campaign ad [picture of Greene holding a gun] is whining about fantasies of violence. How does this even compute.
‘This woman, remember she is the one that endorsed fringe conspiracy theories and repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians. Now she’s dialing 911 because she got made fun of.’
He warned Greene he would ‘report you right back’ but would instead go the ‘justice league’ rather than the police before asking stage hands to ‘bring me my writing desk’ and to play some ‘writing music’.

Kimmel then appeared to write a message to Batman warning of Greene and asking the superhero to ‘check her out’.
He also pointed out that several of Greene’s allies had sent ‘mean’ messages to Kimmel on Twitter, including Rep. Matt Gaetz.
Gaetz warned the comedian that Greene’s husband, and Greene herself, would make ‘quick work’ of Kimmel.
‘Kimmel would not last too long if he were interested in engaging in unprovoked, terrible violence against this Congresswoman,’ the Florida Representative wrote.
Kimmel hit back at the tweet: ‘What are you suggesting, another threesome? I don’t know.’
Greene last year was stripped of her committee assignments in the House after posting messages that included anti-Semitic and Islamophobic comments, as well as sharing conspiracy theories.
Greene herself has come under fire for liking social media posts that call for violence against lawmakers. In 2019, she liked a post that said it would be ‘quicker’ to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a ‘bullet to the head.’
She has said that shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida were false-flag operations and has also supported conspiracies regarding QAnon and 9/11.
Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed to the Supreme Court by the Senate yesterday evening with the votes of all Democrats and three Republicans – Sens. Susan Collins, Maine, Mitt Romney, Utah and Lisa Murkowski, Alaska.
Ahead of the vote, the three senators each said they thought she was ‘well-qualified’ even if they didn’t think they would agree with every decision she made, believing the president should have wide discretion over his judicial nominees.
Other Republicans cited her lighter sentencing, lack of a judicial philosophy and refusal to share opinions on matters like court packing and the definition of a ‘woman’ as reasons to vote now.
