Also, these celebrities are all Jake's besties and they are all celebrating Jimmy Kimmel so maybe Jake Tapper should sit this one out.
Tapper should just divulge:

I've served comedy with Jimmy Kimmel.

This is why everyone hates all of you

Believe it or not, Melania Trump has the exact same first amendment rights that Jake Tapper and Jimmy Kimmel have.
