"If you had to be governed by 100 plumbers or 100 sneering, elitist, broken-brained, know-nothing, hack liberal comedians in Hollywood, what would you choose? I know what I would choose. I'd take the plumbers, the working class, every single time."
"The president and his pals in the MAGA media are not happy with me right now. Trump even called in to Fox to complain about me tonight."
"His apple polishers are all in a tizzy because I made light of the fact that his new head of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, before he was a senator, was a plumber."
"And now he's the head of Homeland Security, which is not necessarily the kind of resume you might hope for, for the person in charge of protecting us from terrorism."
Scott Jennings condemned Jimmy Kimmel for his joke about Markwayne Mullin, the new DHS Secretary, being a plumber. Jennings expressed a preference for working-class individuals in government over elitist comedians. Kimmel defended his comments, stating that critics misinterpreted his joke about Mullin's background. He acknowledged the backlash from Trump and his supporters, emphasizing that Mullin's plumbing experience was not the ideal qualification for a Homeland Security leader. The exchange highlights tensions between political figures and media personalities regarding perceptions of the working class.
