Hollywood Can’t Shake Its Elitism, Especially When It Comes to Free Speech

Jimmy Kimmel is a free-speech warrior and a man of the people — well, some of the people.

Earlier this week, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host slammed new US Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin as “unqualified” for a curious reason. 

“Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber.

“That’s right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. It worked for Super Mario. Why not Markwayne?”

Mullin, who until last week was a US senator from Oklahoma, took over the family plumbing business when his father became ill.

Kimmel couldn’t help himself. He’s been emboldened after a week-long suspension by ABC last year for incorrectly blaming MAGA for Charlie Kirk’s murder.
