Seems late night host Jimmy Kimmel has gotten informally involved in Alabama’s Special Election.
“I had an interesting day today,” Jimmy Kimmel told his ABC audience on Thursday. (11/30) “I somehow found myself in a Twitter war with Roy Moore.”
U.S. Senate Republican nominee from Alabama fired off a couple tweets at Kimmel after “Jake Byrd” (a character on Kimmel’s show) crashed his rally at a church Wednesday. Byrd pretended to be an ardent Moore supporter and “defended” him against accusations of sexual misconduct with teen girls while he was in his 30s. “I’m your No. 1 fan . . . does that look like the face of someone who hits on teenage girls?!”
Byrd was called out and removed by security.
Thursday afternoon, Moore tweeted this to Kimmel: If you want to mock our Christian values, come down here to Alabama and do it man to man. Kimmel explained the whole situation during his monologue — and he didn’t hold back.
