Jimmy Kimmel & Sean Hannity’s Epic Twitter Feud Escalates

The feud between the talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and conservative Fox News host Sean Hannity went wild this week following a segment Kimmel did about First Lady Melania Trump on his show.

Hannity called Kimmel a “despicable disgrace,” which Kimmel addressed on his show. Hannity then took to Twitter to bring up old sketches Kimmel has done and referred to him as “Harvey Weinstein Jr.” The sketch in question was one Kimmel did called “Guess What’s In My Pants” on Comedy Central.

Also @jimmykimmel attacking @MELANIATRUMP while reading a book to kids? What happened to “Mr Morality”? Attacking a woman who is helping children? This is @Disney? #pervertkimmel https://t.co/o7ydG72Pzc

Today’s poll. So tonight will @jimmykimmel be 1- Asking 18 year old girls to touch his crotch. 2- Make fun of the First Lady reading books to children. 3- Be a racist asshole. 4- all of the above? @Disney #pervertkimmel https://t.co/bq5WE4eyOP

Kimmel responded by stating that Hannity is trivializing Weinstein’s abuse of women. He also noted that in his old video, “every woman was a willing participant who gladly signed a release.”

I vote for whichever one best helps you trivialize the horrors of Harvey Weinstein by comparing them to televised comedy bits in which every woman was a willing participant who gladly signed a release https://t.co/6jlpRqtttY

Then their argument began to escalate. Hannity tweeted to Kimmel, “Would you want a stranger asking your daughter to ‘grab their crotch, and put their mouths on it?'”

And you kissed the ass of Obama and Hillary for years Mr Weinstein. Answer this question. Would you want a stranger asking your daughter to “grab their crotch, and put their mouths on it? Yes or no Harvey! https://t.co/fLk6hPpDbQ

Kimmel brought up once again that the video Hannity is referring to only involved women who gave consent to participate. He then asked Hannity if he would “want [his] daughter being ‘grabbed by the p—-y’?” A reference to President Donald Trump‘s infamous hot mic tape with Billy Bush.

The answer is yes. Every woman involved WILLINGLY participated – it’s called a comedy bit. It’s what you’ve been unwittingly doing for years. Now YOU answer THIS question. Would you want your daughter being “grabbed by the pussy”? Yes or no? https://t.co/T51yTnoyVc

Hannity deflected the question and continued to call Kimmel a “Harvey Weinstein wannabe.”

The all new @Disney asking women to grab a stranger’s crotch and put their mouths on it. Harvey Weinstein wannabe. #pervertkimmel https://t.co/qHKPym8Pd5

Kimmel persisted to get Hannity to answer his question.

I guess you missed my question, which was: “Would you want your daughter being “grabbed by the pussy”? Yes or no?” https://t.co/n9adjxrYxT

Yet once again Hannity deflected the question.

Kimmel finally gave up on trying to get an answer out of Hannity, but ended the Twitter feud with a simple “No one likes you.”

I knew you wouldn’t answer the question. No one likes you. https://t.co/pd8DE5cvIB
