Kimmel vs Trump: Plumber to Homeland Security

0:00On March 27, Jimmy Kimmel took aim at President Trump's new pick for Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin. Mullin, a former U.S. senator from Oklahoma, got confirmed this week to replace Christy Noem. Kimmel pointed to Mullin's earlier jobs as a plumber and low-level mixed martial arts fighter, questioning if those prepared him for the top security. Roe, Kimmel clarified in his monologue that he has no issue with Mullin's plumbing past. He just thinks experts should stick to their strengths, like not calling a general for a household fix or vice versa. Conservatives quickly called the comments an attack on working-class jobs like plumbing. Trump jumped in during a Fox News appearance, slamming Kimmel as a talentless loser with low ratings and an obsession with criticizing him. Kimmel fired back by highlighting what he sees as media double standards. He noted how outlets once mocked representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her time as a bartender. Adjusting they owed bartenders in apology, too.
