Trump Jr's Attack On Jimmy Kimmel Backfires Spectacularly
Donald Trump Jr. went after late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on social media over the weekend. It didn’t go very well.
The son of President Donald Trump asked Kimmel what he thought of the sexual harassment allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein:
Thoughts on Harvey Weinstein? #askingforafriend https://t.co/iyHhvrlDXO

Kimmel replied:
You mean that big story from the failing, liberal, one-sided @nytimes? I think it is disgusting.

Trump Jr. then tried to turn it around on Kimmel:
Great I look forward to your monologues next week. You're probably due for a change if only for a moment or two. https://t.co/hoEbRApHeT

On the anniversary of the release of the infamous “Access Hollywood” tapes in which his father bragged, among other things, that “when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything... grab ’em by the pussy,” Trump Jr.’s goading just didn’t work. Kimmel fired back:
