Jimmy Kimmel’s takedown of Marjorie Taylor Greene after she reported his joke to police is 4 minutes well spent
You may have seen by now how Republican congresswoman, conspiracy theorist and all-round free speech warrior Marjorie Taylor Greene was so offended by a joke by late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel that she reported it to police.

Here’s how Kimmel responded on Twitter.

But Greene wasn’t leaving it there. Of course she wasn’t.
You weren’t joking. You hide your misogyny 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 of violence against me.
How many new death threats will I get that are your fans? https://t.co/SB37BqnxyJ

So Kimmel returned to the topic on his opening monologue and it’s four minutes very well spent.
So much to enjoy there but this bit is hard to beat.
‘She’s a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time. A snowciopath.’
Boom.
