It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that since Jimmy Kimmel is a politically ignorant blowhard, his writers are, too. Take Bess Kalb, for instance, who decided to educate her followers with a clarification about the Second Amendment:
Real quick seems worth clarifying the Second Amendment isn't in the Constitution. It's an amendment to the Constitution.

Stupid tweet, right? But if you’re gonna call her out on it, you’d better not be a guy:
Well, it's incorporated into the Constitution, right? The amended version.

Congratulations to this man for "Well,"-ing me WITHIN 10 seconds. Thank you for explaining this, Jon. https://t.co/uvjkeE6tXE

Pssst! Beth! When a guy points out that you’re saying something dumb, it’s not sexist. It’s pointing out that you’re saying something dumb. Because you’re, you know, saying something dumb.

We managed to find plenty of people — men and women — who would also like to point out that you’re saying something dumb.
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) October 9, 2017
To be fair, your original point was a pretty weak "Well, actually" itself.
— Dylan Lightfoot (@DylanALightfoot) October 9, 2017
Unnecessarily harsh! Your OP doesn’t make much sense.

I got dumber just reading that tweet.

The amount of stupid in this tweet and on this thread is breathtaking https://t.co/32yK8M6Bhh

Lmao are you insulates from being called out for being dumb because you're a woman?
— Egg n' McMuffin (@EggnMcMuffin) October 9, 2017
Yes, he's the problem. Not you and your ridiculous, incorrect claim. The guy who pointed out that you were wrong is the issue. https://t.co/vYqLslJBCB
— Eric Spencer (@JustEric) October 9, 2017
You were wrong.
— JE SUIS TRACEY (@owenrumney) October 9, 2017
What are you suggesting? That's it's somehow less important because it's an amendment?
— Anne Burgess (@burgess_anne) October 9, 2017
I mean, yeah… but so is the 1st. ?
— IntoTheVoidScreaming (@DamselDisgusted) October 9, 2017
Well that pesky 14th amendment and the 4th and the 5th oh and the 1st, imagine if all of these were suspended because “ the constitution”

And what about this amendment?
@oblivious_dude MMMMRRROWWWL! Who's gonna tell her about the Nineteenth
Amendment? ?— (((L.N. Smithee))) (@LNSmithee) October 9, 2017

— Farvoo (@FarvooF3rn) October 9, 2017
So is the Nineteenth Amendment. Would you like to 'clarify' that one? https://t.co/y7Z5vNorBt
— Dodd (@Amuk3) October 9, 2017
The smartness.
19th amendment isn't in there either. ? https://t.co/RrsKTlPgvH

Excellent point.
Women voting…

Whoops!
If Bess doesn’t want to be on the receiving end of a “mansplanation” next time, here’s something she could try:
Don't say stupid things then, Bess.
— Levi (@leviphillip) October 9, 2017
Editor’s note: This post has been updated with additional tweets.

Update:
Bess was so confident in the rightness of her clarification that she deleted it. Is there a man out there who can explain to her that the internet never forgets? The internet won’t forget this, either:
First she says 2nd Amnd not in Constitution, then says @pojanowski's comment sexist bc she doesn't know the Amendment. ?♀️ @xan_desanctis pic.twitter.com/RPqaLHXHdH
