Hannity-Kimmel Feud Gets Downright Clownish

The Sean Hannity-Jimmy Kimmel feud continued into the early hours of Friday morning as the two late-night hosts traded insults over social media. While Kimmel posted a doctored photograph on Twitter that suggested Hannity having sex with a clown, Hannity fired back with a promise that “pervert” Kimmel would get his come-uppance in due time.

It all started on Monday night when Hannity raked Kimmel over the conservative coals for Kimmel’s arguably tasteless routine that mocked First Lady Melania Trump’s accent as she read Easter stories to children. Hannity reminded Kimmel that Melania Trump could speak five languages and asked the liberal talk show host how many he could speak.

Hannity called Kimmel a “despicable disgrace” and “a** clown.”

Not to be outdone, Kimmel fired back on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Thursday, taking great exception to being labelled an “a** clown.” As the Washington Examiner notes, Kimmel went sexual with his taunts, saying Hannity was “unable to get an erection” all during the Obama years but was making up for that under President Donald Trump because now he is “unable to have anything but an erection.”

Kimmel also objected to being called a “despicable disgrace” and reached back to the sexual misconduct stories surrounding former Senate candidate Roy Moore.

“This is the guy who defended the multiply alleged pedophile Roy Moore, and I’m a despicable disgrace? I’m the a** clown,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “Here’s the thing. If I’m an a** clown — and I might very well be — you, Sean, are the whole a** circus.”

Hannity then suggested that Kimmel is no stranger to sexual misconduct, comparing Kimmel to disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein in a tweet that also reminded  him of an infamous skit where the comedian had tried to shock bystanders by appearing to have an enormous erection.

“Tick, Tock,” Hannity promised on Twitter, “Ill have much more tomorrow.” To which Kimmel responded “I can’t wait.”

So far, Hannity has the last word, firing back “Game on…” before ending with a cryptic remark about his talking to @Disney Bob about Kimmel.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
