Jimmy Kimmel goes after Donald Trump Jr. over tweet during Kavanaugh hearing

Kyle Moss

On Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, host Jimmy Kimmel took issue with a tweet Donald Trump Jr. sent during Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In response to Ford’s discussion about being afraid to fly, Trump Jr. wrote:

Kimmel — who, like most late-night hosts, is a frequent critic of the whole Trump family — did not hold back when he went after Trump Jr.

“I agree — you’re not a psychology professor. You are a dull-witted human canker sore who shoots baby hippos out of daddy’s helicopter because it’s the only way you can get an erection,” Kimmel said, continuing after applause and laughter from the audience. “Do us a favor — put the Twitter aside. Go rub a tub of Axe extreme hold hair gel on your empty head, you chinless son of a circus peanut.”

Trump Jr.’s tweet got plenty of reactions on Twitter as well, including a comment from an actual psychology professor who said Trump Jr.’s thinking is wrong. But it’s hard to top Kimmel’s rant, which ended with something of a mic-drop moment.

“Could there be a dumber thing to be than Donald Trump Jr.?” Kimmel asked.
