Jimmy Kimmel Fires Back at Hannity: You’re Trying to ‘Trivialize the Horrors of Harvey Weinstein’
Jimmy Kimmel fired back at Sean Hannity this afternoon after Hannity repeatedly went after him as “Harvey Weinstein Jr.”
After Kimmel did a segment mocking Melania Trump, Hannity called him a “despicable disgrace.” Kimmel responded on his show last night, and Hannity has since gone on a big tweetstorm bringing up some old Man Show sketches and even nicknaming Kimmel “Harvey Weinstein Jr.” Yes, really.
The sketch in question here was a “guess what’s in my pants” bit Kimmel did on the Comedy Central show. Hannity tweeted out a link to the sketch last night and said, “Jimmy that’s you being a pervert asshole. How would you feel if that was your daughter? I bet @Disney is so proud.”
Kimmel responded this afternoon by telling him he’s trivializing what Weinstein did with the comparison:
Today’s poll. So tonight will @jimmykimmel be 1- Asking 18 year old girls to touch his crotch. 2- Make fun of the First Lady reading books to children. 3- Be a racist asshole. 4- all of the above? @Disney #pervertkimmel https://t.co/bq5WE4eyOP

I vote for whichever one best helps you trivialize the horrors of Harvey Weinstein by comparing them to televised comedy bits in which every woman was a willing participant who gladly signed a release https://t.co/6jlpRqtttY

UPDATE –– 2:28 pm ET: Hannity has since called him a bully, and Kimmel responded:
You are a bully attacking the First Lady of the USA. Attack me any time you want. Attack @realDonaldTrump anytime you want. Suck up to Obama all you want. Having 18 year old girls grab your crotch is creepy and perverted. How would you feel if it was your daughter Harvey Jr? https://t.co/uuddgKAZJl
