After Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that three Republicans were “pro-pedophile” because they voted in favor of Ketanji Jackson Brown to be appointed to the Supreme Court, Jimmy Kimmel joked, “Where is Will Smith when you need him?”
And someone got mad:
.@ABC, this threat of violence against me by @jimmykimmel has been filed with the @CapitolPolice. pic.twitter.com/nxYX1LF2jK
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) April 6, 2022
Jimmy Kimmel responded in kind:
Officer? I would like to report a joke. https://t.co/3ournv9RwG

It should be noted that the Capitol Police (who Greene voted against honoring after some of their own died defending the Capitol from the January 6th rioters) has not confirmed that she made such a report.

Reportedly, NBC News reporters are mad about Jen Psaki joining MSNBC, believing it will “harm” the NBC brand. Nevermind the fact that Nicole Wallace, one of MSNBC’s most popular hosts, was also a former White House spokesperson. (But I guess because she worked for a GOP White House, it’s OK and doesn’t look partisan?)
JoJo Siwa has pulled out of her upcoming movie Bounce, which was being produced by Will Smith’s production company. However, she claims she left the series months ago, long before The Slap. Maybe!
