Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is continuing to roast Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for filing a police report over his joke.
Kimmel opened his show on Thursday night by addressing a police report.
“What a night and what a day. I have the weirdest life. I really do. Once again, I find myself in the middle of a brouhaha, as I appear to have run afoul of probably the worst woman in American politics,” he began.
The host continued, “Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Congressperson from the 14th District of Georgia, is unhappy. She’s specifically unhappy with me. She’s had a tough couple of days.”

He went on to recall a joke he told about Greene on Tuesday night after she accused Republican senators of being “pro-pedophile.”
“Wow, where is Will Smith when you really need him,” he joked.
In response to that, Greene tweeted, “[ABC News], this threat of violence against me by [Jimmy Kimmel] has been filed with the [U.S. Capitol Police].”

“She called the police and reported this. Not only did she call the police—she called the same police she voted against giving a Congressional Gold Medal to for defending our Capitol against the insurrection she helped incite on Jan. 6. That’s who she called — the people she wanted to defund,” Kimmel said Thursday.
He continued, “It’s amazing how quickly you can go from, ‘These liberals, you can’t say anything anymore,’ to ‘What did you say? I’m calling the cops!’ This must be that cancel culture they’re always talking about!”
He went on to note that after Greene said she filed a police report, he tweeted, “Officer? I would like to report a joke.”

Kimmel also highlighted a tweet from Greene that she sent on Thursday afternoon, “You weren’t joking. You hide your misogyny and your racism behind your ‘jokes’ on [ABC].”
“This was a dog whistle to the violent left to assault me or worse, and your [sic] already inspiring fantasies of violence against me. How many new death threats will I get that are your fans?” Greene added.

The late-night host stressed that he does not condone threats against others and pointed out that he receives threats.
“I also find it very rich that a person who did this in a campaign ad is suddenly whining about fantasies of violence,” he added.
Kimmel then displayed an image of Greene holding a gun.
“Now she’s dialing 9/11 because she got made fun of. She’s a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time. A snowciopath, as we’ll refer to her from now on,” he added.
