This conservative is siding with the liberal in the Jimmy Kimmel-Sean Hannity feud

Allow me to surprise you: In the silly feud between ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Fox News’ Sean Hannity, I’m siding with Kimmel on this one.

A conservative sticking up for an unabashed liberal comedian? How can that be?

Well, a bit of background is in order. The skirmish started when Kimmel made fun of First Lady Melania Trump’s accent.

While reading to children at the White House Easter egg roll, Melania pronounced “this and that” as “dees and dat.” Kimmel laughed as he repeated her pronunciation and turned to his on-air sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez, who speaks with a Spanish accent, and joked, “You know what this means? You could be first lady of the United States.”

It was just a silly joke. It’s what comedians do.

But Hannity completely overreacted by calling Kimmel a “despicable disgrace” and an “ass clown.”
