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:
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

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:
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
