Jimmy Kimmel was in matchmaking mood on Tuesday’s episode of his show, and in his monologue suggests a way to bounce back Georgia Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene from his impending divorce It really means a lot: Connect with Kanye West.
Apparently there were some pretty stoic statements both Inspiration West and Green have made in recent times.
“One of Putin’s biggest cheerleaders in the United States, Congressman Marjorie Taylor Green, is busy trying to scare voters into elections,” Kimmel said after going over the topic in his monologue. “Klan Mom Makes an Appearance at Trump’s Rally in Arizona, Where She Fires Out the Magoon Squad With Her Take on the ‘Great’ Replacement Theory.”
Of course, the “Great Replacement” is a white supremacist conspiracy theory that emphasizes white people, and white conservatives in particular, being “replaced” by people they are not. No matter why, it’s highly racist and untrue, so we won’t argue for them. The point here is that Kimmel played a clip in which Greene spoke about it at a Trump rally, ending his scathingness about it, saying “and it’s not great for America.”
“It’s not? Because I think it’s one of a kind,” joked Kimmel. “You mean to say we can replace the Let’s Go Brandon flag and wine boat parade with something else?”
“Can we replace anti-vax Facebook groups and proud boy circle jerks with empanadas and crazy soap operas? I’m fine with that, please,” Kimmel continued. “I guess the message is, bring your big hat and your intricate mustache, your jigs and lederhosen, your fish eyes, your soup dumplings, from around the world and far away.” Do it.”
He then suggests his tally: “We need a good place right now. You know, Marjorie may be leaving Taylor Green because her husband filed for divorce. And I have to say — I think my She has the perfect guy for her: his name is Yeh. And I could actually see them getting so happy together.”
Of course, the joke here is that he himself has been spouting racist comments recently, including during an appearance in what the New York Times described as “the most racist show in the history of cable news” during an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News. program is included.
Kimmel definitely made a few more jokes, and you can see them all in the clip above. But his jokes about Marjorie Taylor Green and Kanye West kick in at about 5 minutes, 45 seconds.
