If you miss the good old days — two weeks ago? — of President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden talking smack about beating each other up behind the gym, don't worry, there's a new feud a-brewing. After doing his morning routine Thursday, Jimmy Kimmel said on Kimmel Live, "I open my computer and find I'm at war with Sean Hannity and Fox News — who, by the way, I thought were my & Friends, Fox, but they are not, as it turns out."
On Thursday morning, the Fox & Friends early crew took umbrage at Kimmel's segment on first lady Melania Trump reading a children's book during Monday's Easter Egg Roll, saying Kimmel's poking fun at her accent was out of line. But they were just following the lead of Sean Hannity, who called Kimmel a "despicable" and disgraceful "ass clown" on Wednesday night for his Melania Trump imitation. Kimmel ruminated on what "ass clown" might mean, spun a rude theory on why Hannity is so animated these days, and then punched back.
