Co-head writer of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! and wife of the eponymous host, Molly McNearney, ranted at Donald Trump on Tuesday that “women are dying” because of him and demanded he “shut up and go away” to Mar-a-Lago where he can spend his time “masturbating to Newsmax.”
At a recent rally, Trump recalled Kimmel’s time hosting the Oscars, where Kimmel read out a Truth Social post reviewing his performance. Trump also riffed that McNearney begged Kimmel not to read the post. Reacting to all this, Kimmel declared, “But since you think my wife gives good advice, maybe—here she is with some advice. Molly? Please.”
McNearney, who was wearing an "Isn't it past your jail time" shirt in reference to Kimmel’s Oscar performance, began, “Hi, everybody. Donald, thank you for your support. And I'm glad I have your attention because one in three women currently in this country is living under an abortion ban because you stacked our Supreme Court.”
By “stacked our Supreme Court,” McNearney simply means that he filled vacancies. However, McNearney was just getting started:
Thanks to you, women in 21 states can't make their own choice about their own life and body. And ten U.S. states make no exceptions for rape or incest. The party you run so bigly and beautifully, the party that cares so much about motherhood, just blocked a bill that would protect our access to IVF. Women are dying, and good doctors are quitting, because they can't get or give the reproductive care women desperately need.
Women are not dying because of Trump or pro-lifers. If women are dying, it is because of negligence from medical professionals, not the law’s text. Nobody is moving to ban IVF, but it would be interesting to see McNearney explain why IVF is so awesome if her pro-abortion beliefs lead her to claim that the unborn child isn’t actually a child.
As it was, McNearney wrapped up with an angry rant, “So, my advice for you is to shut up and go away. Go to Mar-a-Lago, spend all day, every day, cheating at golf and masturbating to Newsmax, and let a competent woman take over. That's my advice. That's my advice. Thanks for listening.”
McNearney has a rather unhumorous approach to comedy. Her approach to Trump is to just rant at him with factually incorrect talking points with shoehorned masturbation references, but mentioning Hillary Clinton’s pantsuit is a bridge too far.
Here is a transcript for the September 24 show:
