With Jimmy Kimmel continuing to fire shots at Donald Trump, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld has given the comedian a taste of his own medicine by slamming him. In a recent sit-down, the renowned political commentator called out Kimmel for constantly complaining about the current situation, going as far as to ask him to ‘take it like a man.’
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld slams Jimmy Kimmel over Trump criticism
During his April 17 appearance on The Five, Gutfeld blasted Jimmy Kimmel for his comments regarding facing criticism for talking about Donald Trump, and by extension, politics.
“Look, he is right. He doesn’t have to listen to criticism, but then don’t complain about it,” the TV host noted. “You can do what you want, and we can tell you what sucks. You get paid handsomely, so take it like a man and stop blubbering.”
Suggesting an alternate approach to the late-night talk show host, Gutfeld added, “You don’t even know criticism, try to be a right-winger for a year.”
He concluded his account by saying, “He’s hopeless because he’s decided he’s too important to be funny. He’s incapable of self-deprecation, he can’t poke fun at himself, and he lost the ability to be silly. I am a fool. I’m the first to admit it. I embrace it. The less important you think I am, the better it is for me. No one mocks me more than me and most of the insults directed at me from critics they took from me.”
Gutfeld’s strong-worded reply comes after Jimmy Kimmel talked about facing backlash due to his commentary on Donald Trump on Michelle Obama’s IMO podcast. “It just seems obvious and unavoidable. I just can’t imagine on those nights talking about anything other than what we are talking about…I think it would be embarrassing if we didn’t talk about this,” he noted.
Kimmel also urged his critics not to “tell me what my job is. I don’t tell you what your job is. My job is whatever I decide my job is, whatever my employer allows me to do.”
