Jimmy Kimmel has addressed Donald Trump’s recent controversy, which saw the Home Alone 2 star firing back at a Bloomberg reporter with a “Quiet, piggy” remark after being posed with questions regarding the Epstein files. For the uninformed, the Epstein estate recently unveiled previously unseen emails by convicted s-x offender Jeffrey Epstein, which have once again put Donald Trump in the spotlight over his alleged past ties to Epstein.
While the Late Night host faced a brief suspension due to political pressure back in September, Kimmel isn’t holding back. Reflecting on the now-infamous moment, he called out Trump over his distasteful remarks, which would be considered out of line in any other workplace. (via Jimmy Kimmel Live!/YouTube)
He called her piggy… If a man spoke like that to a female coworker in a workplace harassment training video, you’d go, ‘Ah, that’s over the top. Nobody would do that.’ If the pilot on Air Force One behaved like the president, he wouldn’t be allowed to fly the plane.
Kimmel, whose Late Night show return opened to record ratings, also touched on Trump’s other controversial antics in recent weeks, especially in relation to the entire Epstein fiasco.
Jimmy Kimmel Isn’t Holding Back With His Shots at Trump
Kimmel has no intentions of slowing down when it comes to confronting the controversial antics of Trump, whether it’s his recent remarks or his entire approach to dealing with the Epstein files, claiming, “Every time he gets asked about Jeffrey Epstein, he loses his mind”.
The Late Night author also called Trump’s recent press event into question. The press even saw Trump, who was joined by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, throwing a tantrum over questions related to Epstein and the assassination of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents (via Variety).
Your crappy company, is one of the perpetrators… I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, the chairman, who should look at that.
Given how back and forth Trump has been about the entire Epstein files situation, Kimmel has further cast doubt on Trump’s newfound stance on the case.
Jimmy Kimmel Doubts The Epstein Files Will Be Released in Their Entirety
The push for the release of the Epstein files has been extensive, and the alleged leaked emails have only intensified it further, which pushed Trump, who previously deemed them a Democrat hoax, to shift his stance.
Although the Home Alone 2 star did urge the Republicans to vote in favor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, resulting in a 427-1 margin in the House (via The Guardian), it now awaits Trump’s seal of approval to become law. Kimmel, however, remains doubtful that the files will be released in their entirety, quipping,
If anyone thinks he’s going to release all the Epstein files, I’ve got a beautiful East Wing of the White House to sell you
With the bill now in Trump’s court, it’ll be interesting to see how the Home Alone 2 star handles it, especially given how much of a political nightmare this has proven to be for the current administration.
