Jimmy Kimmel says he'll fight Roy Moore — as long as he can wear a Girl Scout uniform


Jimmy Kimmel is ready and willing to fly to Alabama to fight Roy Moore (or discuss Christianity with him), but he won't be coming alone and he plans on wearing a very special outfit for the big event.
On Thursday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host explained that Moore, the Republican Alabama Senate candidate who has been accused of groping or assaulting several women when they were in their teens and he was in his early 30s, sent him an angry tweet after Kimmel's friend Jake Byrd (comedian Tony Barbieri) attended an event Moore held Wednesday night. "If you want to mock our Christian values," Moore wrote, "come down here to Alabama and do it man to man."
Kimmel said he would be happy to visit Alabama, but he'd bring with him "a team of high school cheerleaders" and meet "at the mall, but don't worry, I can get you in." If Moore can "somehow manage to keep Little Roy in your little cowboy pants," they'll sit in the food court for some Panda Express and "we'll talk about Christian values." Kimmel is a Christian, and said he'd love to share with Moore that "at my church, forcing yourself on underage girls is a no-no, some even consider it to be a sin." Should Moore really want to engage in fisticuffs, Kimmel is up for it, and will even "wear a Girl Scout uniform so you can have something to get excited about." Watch below. Catherine Garcia
