In the November 24 episode, Kimmel reacted to Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s resignation from Congress in his opening monologue. Her resignation came after President Donald Trump‘s public criticism of her during the government shutdown, when she was criticizing her congressional colleagues for failing to keep the government running. After the shutdown ended, she’s been vocal about her disdain for Congress’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, among other issues. Trump’s response prompted Greene to receive threats across social media from the president’s supporters.
“I have to say this woman is being attacked from all sides right now… somehow she still had time to put up her Christmas tree, [it’s] not even Thanksgiving,” Kimmel joked in his monologue.
“Welcome to reality, Marj,” Kimmel added. “We’re glad to have you here. Make yourself at home. Feel free to check out our science wing while you have a chance.”
