深夜のトーク番組司会者ジミー・キンメル氏は、新たに国土安全保障長官に就任したマークウェイン・マリン氏に関する自身の最近の発言に対し、保守層からの反発を受けて反論した。キンメル氏は配管工を侮辱する意図はなく、マリン氏の適格性に疑問を投げかけることが目的だったと釈明。また、この批判を拡大させたとしてドナルド・トランプ大統領を非難した。
ジミー・キンメル氏は木曜日の放送でこの騒動に言及し、同日トランプ大統領がフォックス・ニュースの番組「ザ・ファイブ」で自身の発言について苦言を呈したことを指摘した。キンメル氏は「大統領のご機嫌取りたちは、私が国土安全保障省の新しい長官であるマークウェイン・マリン氏が上院議員になる前は配管工だったという事実に光を当てたことで大騒ぎしている」と語った。さらに、「そして今、彼は国土安全保障省のトップだ。テロから我々を守る責任者としては、必ずしも期待するような経歴とは言えないだろう」と付け加えた。
