Oh look, it’s Jimmy Kimmel belittling the Vice President as a dog, again. The late-night ABC “comedian” joined the rest of the media in expressing over-the-top outrage at Mike Pence not wearing a mask while visiting the Mayo Clinic, Tuesday. While all the late-night hosts made digs at Pence for that decision, Kimmel was the nastiest, even “joking” about the vice "poodle" dying, (a classless joke he’s made before about the VP.)
After a segment on coronavirus affecting animals, Kimmel smoothly segued into his Pence-bashing by calling him a chained poodle:
“Speaking of pets, the vice poodle was off the leash today,” he mocked, adding he took a tour of the Mayo Clinic and didn’t wear a mask even after being informed of the clinic’s rules prior to visiting. Kimmel sneered that Pence was a sycophant who had to keep his “lips free” to kiss “his master” Trump’s behind. He also mocked the VP’s Christian faith, yet again, this time claiming he was afraid of homosexuals:
You know the only reason why he didn't wear a mask is because Trump won't wear one. Mike Pence, who has to keep his lips free at all times for kissing his master's ass. This was good though. This patient. I have to hope--and I assume this guy wore pink socks just to make Pence uncomfortable.
But Kimmel wasn’t done with his nasty commentary. He saved the worst joke for the end, claiming the Vice President just wanted to die because he hated working for Trump so much:
“I don’t know, maybe Mike Pence just wants to catch it already and be put out of his misery,” he sneered.
While Pence is an easy target for late-night comedians anti-Christian bashing, these same hosts wouldn’t dare mock Democrats like Nancy Pelosi’s Catholicism or Ilhan Omar’s faith in Islam.

JIMMY KIMMEL: Speaking of pets, the vice poodle was off the leash today. He went on a tour of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Where, despite being told to wear a mask, he did not. The Mayo Clinic has guidelines that require all visitors to wear masks. But Mike Pence didn't. And he was the only one who didn't. You know the only reason why he didn't wear a mask is because Trump won't wear one. Mike Pence, who has to keep his lips free at all times for kissing his master's ass. This was good though. This patient. I have to hope--and I assume this guy wore pink socks just to make Pence uncomfortable. After the visit, the mayo clinic tweeted -- "Mayo Clinic had informed @vp of the masking policy prior to his arrival today." And then they deleted it. They quickly took it down. For fear that an army of imbeciles might gather outside to protest. I don’t know, maybe Mike Pence just wants to catch it already and be put out of his misery.
KIMMEL: The president, of course, refuses to wear a mask. Which is a shame because if his mouth was covered we could help him with his press conferences a lot.
TRUMP [DUBBED]: Okay, everybody. I'm going to make this very simple. Stay inside, don't drink bleach and listen to doctors, because I have no idea how the human body works. I can't even find my penis anymore. Now go wash your hands, and vote for Joe Biden so I can go home and play some [bleeped] golf.
