Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Trump's Rally Attendance After Former President Criticizes Him
The late-night host responded to Donald Trump's recent remarks at a rally by highlighting empty seats and sarcastically questioning why that particular criticism bothered the former president.
Jimmy Kimmel has responded to Donald Trump's criticism at a recent rally by again pointing out perceived low attendance at the event. During a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, Trump referred to Kimmel as "a loser" and "crooked" after Kimmel had previously mocked the number of empty seats visible at one of Trump's events.
Kimmel, addressing the remarks on his show, questioned why the jab about crowd size was what most agitated Trump among all the criticisms leveled against him. "Of all the things I said about him last week, of all the many moronic and criminal words and deeds I detailed, that’s what bothers him? Me pointing out the fact that his rallies have empty seats?"
Following up on his earlier comments, Kimmel then displayed images of empty seats at the rally where Trump had spoken. He suggested that there were indeed many vacant seats, and ironically, some of those seats were empty at the rally where Trump complained about Kimmel's comments on rally attendance. A video clip of Kimmel's remarks, which begins around the nine-minute mark, was shared, detailing Trump's reaction to the rally attendance critique.
