Jimmy Kimmel's dig at 'plumber' DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin ripped as 'elite' by online critics
Fox ^ | 03 25 2026 | Lindsay Kornick

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was called out for mocking newly confirmed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin as an "unqualified" plumber during his monologue Tuesday night.

"Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne ‘Chuck Mike Bruce Dave’ Melon — Mullin. Maybe melon's better," Kimmel said. "He's the now former senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. It worked for Super Mario. Why not Markwayne?"

He continued, "But honestly — I mean, if Trump is going to keep picking these unqualified people to run the department, why not have more fun with it? I mean, next time instead of Markwayne, how about Lil Wayne for Homeland Security? At least we can get a concert out of it, right?"

Leftists commonly confuse level of formal education with intelligence, and also with actual knowledge. There are a lot of people without degrees who are more intelligent, better read, and with much greater breadth of knowledge than many people with degrees.

Of course, the kicker in this story is that Kimmel himself lacks a degree. So his arrogance isn't based on "I'm educated and you're not." Rather, it is based on the even more condescending thought that anyone with a blue collar job is simply less intelligent.

What an odious little man.

I know a plumber. He’s very intelligent and loaded with money. Jimmy Drivel couldn’t hold his jock strap. What a loser he is.

Time to flush the writers who are high fiving political point scores as comedy.

Someone should remind Kimmel that plumbers are far more essential than Hollywood late night TV hosts.

Kimmel said nothing, of course, when during the potato head years we had a cross-dressing, luggage-stealing freak in charge of our nuclear waste.

Mullin is Native American so that makes Jimmy a racist.

Ironically, it will be the plumbers of the world who will be relatively immune from AI displacing a huge number of our workers — mostly white collar ones.

"Now let Kimmel speak on Obama’s credentials."

Which are nothing beyond being a hack attorney representing a slum lord in Chicago's landlord tenant court.

Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas dropped out of high school at age 15. He got his GED at age 61.

Kimmel must have been the school snitch and gossiper when he was in school and honed his skills over time.

Must have got his TV program by an or else deal?.

Vile Kimmels handlers didn’t mind a corrupted dementia carcass being installed into the White House. One who was so far gone that it required multiple handlers (once even a lady in an Easter bunny suit) just to keep it from wandering away from the cameras or even off the tarmac after stumbling off Air Force One.

We are in dark and evil times; the Bible tells us people will get even more reprobate wicked before Jesus comes back.

I know a dentist, who often says I should have been a plumber, I’d have more assets.

This is the party of the ‘working man/woman’? Making fun of someone’s profession? Pathetic. I am sure we’d be better off with more variety in the background of people in office, rather than being way over-weighted with lawyers.

I’m surprised no one has asked if they think that a plumber might be able to clear up all the sh!t in D.C.
