Hannity Declares Victory in Kimmel Feud, Invites Him on Show: ‘I’ll Promise No Name Calling’
Sean Hannity agreed to a truce with Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night after the ABC comedian called for a ceasefire after last week’s explosive Twitter fight.
As Hannity reviewed Kimmel’s public apology, he remarked that it felt like “a forced, Disney corporate apology.” However, Hannity said he assumes Kimmel’s statement was “sincere” and that he would accept the funnyman’s apology.
“This was never about Hannity vs. Jimmy Kimmel, it’s a lot bigger than that for me,” Hannity said. “Attacking the first lady for her accent is just one small example, but its a line in the sand for me…Those cheap shots need to end.”
After Hannity took shots at the “corrupt media industrial complex” and defended himself from critics who brought up his negative past statements about Michelle Obama, the Fox host insisted he wasn’t trying to be the “thought police” in his feud with Kimmel. From there, Hannity extended an invitation to have Kimmel on his show.
“You want to come on this show? I’ll promise no name calling, no anger, no rehashing of the Twitter fight. You wanna have a serious discussion? We can talk about the president, policies, health care, comedy, political correctness…My bet is you will agree with me on a lot more issues than you think, but for my point of view, it’s over with Jimmy Kimmel.”
Hannity left things off on an ominous note, however, saying he compiled more clips of Kimmel that “don’t make you look too good,” even though he won’t air them for now.
