TV star Jimmy Kimmel is facing bipartisan backlash after inappropriate, sexual comments he wrote on Twitter regarding Sean Hannity and President Trump, reports Breitbart News.

Hannity vs. Kimmel

On Friday, Jimmy Kimmel and Sean Hannity got into a heated Twitter war. Firstly, Hannity started by slamming Kimmel's conduct with young women and mocking of First Lady Melania Trump:

However, Kimmel rapidly fired back, dismissing Hannity's criticisms as exaggerations:

Then Hannity responded by slamming Kimmel as a "bully." The Fox News anchor furthermore encouraged Kimmel to cease "attacking" the First Lady and allowing teenage girls to grab his private areas:

However, Kimmel dramatically escalated the dispute by first sarcastically referring to Hannity as "kind" and "tolerant," before implying that the latter engaged in homosexual acts with President Trump:

Following the preceding tweet, Hannity asserted that Kimmel sucked up to former President Obama and Hillary Clinton. He then blasted Kimmel for his conduct with teenage girls. However, Kimmel maintains that said conduct was consensual:

Finally, Hannity retorted by telling Kimmel to cease "deflecting." Afterward, the two men moreover engaged in personal insults before Kimmel alluded to a supposed sexual relationship between Hannity and President Trump:

The Backlash Against Kimmel

While Jimmy Kimmel may have found his foregoing tweets to be amusing, many onlookers did not. Shortly after the exchange between himself and Hannity, observers then weighed in with their thoughts. Both conservatives and liberals alike blasted Kimmel. Furthermore, the TV star faced accusations of homophobia. Some Americans also vowed to cease watching his nighttime television show. Some of the critical tweets read as follows:

However, Friday's intense exchange is not the first time Jimmy Kimmel has made sexually perverse remarks. On Thursday, Kimmel also spent time talking about Sean Hannity's supposed ability to get an erection:

"Sean Hannity’s problem is that for eight years, while Obama was President, he was unable to get an erection. For eight years, not one erection. And he tried everything … he tried looking at pictures of Paul Ryan with his shirt off. Didn’t work."

Although, Kimmel didn't stop there. He continued discussing Hannity's supposed erections in the hereinafter statements:

"[Hannity] went to office Christmas parties with Bill O’Reilly. Nothing worked. But now that Trump is President, here’s the twist, Sean Hannity is unable to have anything but an erection. He’s had an erection since November of 2016. And it’s driving him mad. He’s lost his mind."

Finally, Jimmy Kimmel has not yet issued an apology in light of widespread backlash.
