Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is facing criticism after repeatedly making lewd jokes suggesting a homosexual relationship between Fox News host Sean Hannity and President Donald Trump.
During a heated Twitter exchange between Kimmel and Hannity, the ABC funnyman repeatedly suggested that President Trump and Hannity were having a sexual relationship.
When your clown makeup rubs off on Trumps ass, does it make his butt look like a Creamsicle, Kimmel quipped in response to a Hannity tweet claiming Kimmel had sexually harassed young women.

However, Kimmels vile jokes sparked a backlash from several social media users, who accused him of alienating his LGBT audience and trivializing their lifestyle choices.
YOU THINK YOURE JUST FEUDING HANNITY, CONGRATS PAL YOU JUST ALIENATED YOUR LGBT VIEWERS, one user named Scott Linnen wrote, adding that Kimmels behavior had made him physically ill.

Kimmel has never been funny. The best he could do was as Adam Corolla's straight man on "The Man Show."
Adam Corolla is funny. And smart.
Kimmel is like bizarro Carolla.
Kimmel most likely lost his virginity at band camp with the Male councilor.
They probably still swap Xmas Cards.
Jimmy Kimmel too stupid to drive.
It’s amazing what this country has come to; just a few years ago, it would have been unthinkable for a TV host to make comments of this type on national television. It is STILL unthinkable for a conservative to talk like this and think he would get away with it. Laura Ingraham lost about ten sponsors for a Tweet that was about 100 times tamer than these comments of Kimmel. The double standard is not only shocking, it is very disturbing, very dangerous.
I'm confused. The LGBLTBBQSPLC says this like ze thinks it's a bad thing.
I guess it’s not “homophobic” if a liberal says it, but if Hannity had used those slurs, he’d be finished. Can you imagine the outrage if Hannity or Limbaugh had made similar gay slurs about Obama and any liberal journalist? He would have lost every sponsor and been fired.
I remember a joke Carson made about Jimmy Carter: “There’s going to be a ritzy banquet at the Carter White House this week; it’s going to be a black-sweater affair.”
Good one. My favorite Reagan spoof was the SNL skit with Phil Hartman, in which Reagan was publicly an amiable dufus, but behind closed doors was a take-charge guy, a master of policy detail, and able to make jokes in Japanese.
That was a classic and one of my all-time favorite SNL skits.
Both those skits could have both Democrats and Republicans rolling in the aisles.
Where has that gone?
“That was a classic and one of my all-time favorite SNL skits.”
One of mine was the making fun of gays mourning the loss of Harvey Milk.
It was hysterical——and would put them off the air today.
What the hell has happened to this country?
.
Thanks.
I guess that’s why all those homosexuals complained about his tweet.
Where’s the link?
Oy.
Who’re the flaming tweeting pros?
That’s what George Takei did.
