Jimmy Kimmel Ends Sean Hannity Twitter War With Apology To Gay Community For Questioning Hannity’s Sexuality
Jimmy Kimmel has tweeted an apology after going back and forth with Sean Hannity.
The Twitter battle between Kimmel and Hannity ensued after Kimmel made a joke about Melania Trump‘s accent. Hannity responded to the joke Kimmel made by calling him a “despicable disgrace on air. Kimmel then brought up the fact the Fox newscaster supported Roy Moore.
They took to social media to continue their battle after Hannity pulled Kimmel’s previous skit The Man Show and called him “Harvey Weinstein Jr” and used the hashtag “#pervertkimmel”

That tweet garnered an immediate response from Hannity.
Harvey Jr, @realDonaldTrump and I don’t have the creepy perverted relationship that you must have had with Obama. So Stop projecting. For the sake of 18 year old girls in America, Have you thought about going to Harvey Sr’s Sex Rehab? #pervertkimmel @Disney https://t.co/PlOeju5cAl

He then tweeted about the hypocrisy Hannity was flaunting.
Dear @SeanHannity thx for the trip down Man Show memory lane. The idea that YOU’d call ANYONE a “pervert” while slobbering over Trump, Ailes, O’Reilly and, YES, Roy Moore – who you DID SUPPORT is, to quote a fella you love very much, “Sad!” #nobodyissafefromKimmelspervertedwrath

The two continued until Kimmel posted a statement saying the banter did “nothing good for anyone and, in fact, is harmful to our country.” He also added an apology to the gay community for his statements but didn’t have have one for Melania Trump. He instead stated that the joke was “harmless and silly.”
