Marjorie Taylor Greene Lashes Out At Jimmy Kimmel With Book Promo Idea. It Backfires.

The far-right Republican congresswoman sought an invite to "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and critics had thoughts.
|

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) didn’t take too kindly to the latest mockery about her from late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel.

After Kimmel on Tuesday roasted Greene’s release of her new book, “MTG,” and called her “not a bright woman ,” Greene fired back on X-formerly-Twitter to seek an invite on the show.

“Hey @jimmykimmel since most of your show content is your nonstop lies about me, why don’t you have me on your show?” she asked. “I’ll bring you a copy of my book and we can chat about what needs to happen to SAVE AMERICA!”

While having the conspiracy theory-peddling, Donald Trump -adoring, MAGA firebrand Greene on Kimmel’s show would certainly stir controversy, it’s not entirely outside the realm of possibility even though Greene did last year report Kimmel to the police over one of his gags about her.

Kimmel in 2018 played (and lost) a charity basketball game with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). He also conducted one of his most surreal interviews with MyPillow CEO/conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell , who was sitting inside a claw machine .

Kimmel has not responded to Greene’s post.

Critics mocked Greene over her message to Kimmel almost as much as they did her new Canada-printed memoir , which was released by Donald Trump Jr. ’s Winning Team Publishing.
