Jimmy Kimmel apologized for making a vulgar sex joke about Fox News’ Sean Hannity–but did not apologize to Melania Trump for mocking her accent.
Kimmel tweeted Sunday:

Kimmel had previously used jokes to insult Hannity that were characterized as being homophobic. (RELATED: Jimmy Kimmel Sends Bizarre, Graphic Tweets About Sean Hannity — Gets Slammed By His Own Side)

When your clown makeup rubs off on Trump’s ass, does it make his butt look like a Creamsicle? https://t.co/DEhmfOh0Hn

He apologized for using the jokes to insult Hannity, but also backhandedly wrote, “I am hopeful that Sean Hannity will learn from this too and continue his newly-found advocacy for women, immigrants, and First Ladies and that he will triumph in his heroic battle against sexual harassment and perversion.”
The feud began after Hannity had sharply criticized Kimmel for mocking First Lady Melania Trump’s accent last week. Hannity used several old skits of Kimmel from the “The Man Show” to accuse him of being creepy around women, even labelling the late night host “Harvey Weinstein Jr.”
This is ABC’s @jimmykimmel aka Harvey Weinstein Jr. Asking 18 year old girls to grab his crotch and “put their mouth on it”. Jimmy that’s you being a pervert asshole. How would you feel if that was your daughter? I bet @Disney is so proud. https://t.co/o7ydG72Pzc

So @jimmykimmel @disney are you proud to employ Harvey Weinstein Jr? Are you proud of this? https://t.co/YoGjm0jj9c https://t.co/BkIQpi5GsC
