"One day history will ask: 'Where were you when the House voted on the impeachment inquiry?'" Jimmy Kimmel said on Thursday's Halloween edition of Kimmel Live. "And I will say, 'On stage, dressed as an orange peanut.' The House voted today to formalize the impeachment process, which means — I don't know what it means. It means it will go to the Senate, the Republicans in the Senate will do nothing about it, and he'll say he won, is probably what it means."
But Trump still rage-tweeted about the "witch hunt" Thursday and "once again, defended his 'perfect call' with the Ukrainian president," Kimmel said. "He wrote: 'Read the transcript!' Which, this is like Lori Laughlin saying 'Check my kid's SAT score!' Not one Republican voted in favor of the impeachment resolution. In the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell lashed out, he said the Democrats are taking a vacation from the needs of the American people — in other words, instead of wasting time on this, you should be sending over more legislation for me to kill. Mitch McConnell is sitting on over 100 bills right now. He uses them to nest his terrarium."
