Jimmy Kimmel defende comentários sobre o secretário de segurança interna Mullin

O apresentador de talk show Jimmy Kimmel defendeu suas observações recentes sobre Markwayne Mullin, o recém-empossado secretário de segurança interna, em meio a críticas de conservadores. Kimmel esclareceu que não teve a intenção de insultar encanadores, mas sim questionar as qualificações de Mullin para o cargo. Ele culpou o presidente Donald Trump por amplificar as críticas.

Jimmy Kimmel abordou a polêmica em sua transmissão de quinta-feira, observando que o presidente Trump havia reclamado dele mais cedo naquele dia no programa 'The Five', da Fox News. '[Os puxa-sacos do presidente] estão todos agitados porque eu fiz piada com o fato de que seu novo chefe de Segurança Interna, Markwayne Mullin, antes de ser senador, era encanador', disse Kimmel. Ele acrescentou: 'E agora ele é o chefe da Segurança Interna. O que não é necessariamente o tipo de currículo que se esperaria da pessoa responsável por nos proteger do terrorismo.'
