Jimmy Kimmel responded to one of President Trump’s recent tweets this way:
Late Night host are dealing with the Democrats for their very "unfunny" & repetitive material, always anti-Trump! Should we get Equal Time?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 7, 2017
Excellent point Mr. President! You should quit that boring job – I'll let you have my show ALL to yourself #MAGA
— Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) October 7, 2017
The Daily Beast and Grabien were among the outlets that noticed deafening silence from late night “comics” when it comes to the Harvey Weinstein story, so Donald Trump, Jr. thought it was worth mentioning to Kimmel:
Thoughts on Harvey Weinstein? #askingforafriend https://t.co/iyHhvrlDXO
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) October 7, 2017
Kimmel defended a lack of late night show mention of the scandal this way:
You mean that big story from the failing, liberal, one-sided @nytimes? I think it is disgusting.
— Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) October 7, 2017
So disgusting it wasn’t worth mentioning on his show (or even making hypocrisy jokes about the Dems)? Kimmel responded to Trump Jr’s reply about Weinstein by turning the focus back to Trump:
Great I look forward to your monologues next week. You're probably due for a change if only for a moment or two. https://t.co/hoEbRApHeT
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) October 7, 2017
great – in the meantime, enjoy this! https://t.co/kQsBAioFwh

Nice deflection! Many have expected more from the “America’s conscience.”

This is why @jimmykimmel is not a serious person. Weinstein terrorizes Hollywood women for years/Kimmel posts this crap. Kimmel hates women https://t.co/wtFvoobqY6

We’re not sure if the late night “comics” will find time to mention Weinstein in the coming days, but jokes about Trump Jr’s reaction might be in the works.
You think it’s disgusting but not disgusting enough to do a monologue on it? No tears for the numerous women Harvey sexually abused? https://t.co/vhE5922Ijp

You were so disgusted by it you never said a single bad word about Weinstein, or made one joke about him, and still haven't. https://t.co/1NZ2zdnIPs

Call it out. Hollywood conducted a massive coverup abt Weinstein for decades. Money & politics swamped their "pro-woman" principles. https://t.co/r2rFPHS8Tr
