Jimmy Kimmel never holds back when it comes to expressing his disappointment in conservative leaders, is now roasting Matt Gaetz.
“Matt Gaetz, also known as the caucasian Diddy, is in the hot seat right now,” Kimmel said during a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Last week, President-elect Donald Trump selected Gaetz as Attorney General despite the sexual abuse allegations he faces.
Kimmel had a lot more to say about Gaetz, who is accused of having sex with a 17-year-old, per Decider. Referring to the testimony of a witness who said Gaetz used Venmo to pay her and another woman for sex, Kimmel described the former congressman as “The Vennmo-lester.”
“The Vennmo-lester was not quiet about his activities,” Kimmel said. “The fact that Matt Gaetz was stupid enough to pay for sex with Venmo, that alone should be disqualifying.”
Kimmel showed a clip of House Speaker Mike Johnson explaining why he would not release the investigative report on Gaetz. In the clip, Johnson says, “The House Ethics Committee with its vast resources and unlimited power effectively could investigate private citizens.”
Still, Kimmel is calling out Gaetz for intentionally resigning to avoid the investigation.
“He became a private citizen five days ago when he resigned specifically to avoid you releasing the results of the investigation,” he said. “Someone needs to put Mike Johnson back in the tree he lives in and release that report.”
For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate,
If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see.
Yes..
all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed
all…

Kimmel also slammed Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is defending Gaetz. She argued that the House should release all the ethics reports on every member if they want to release Gaetz’s ethics report.
“She’s specifically saying: If you reveal what an unfit, corrupt, sleazy dirtbag Matt Gaetz is, so help me God, I’ll let the voters know that you are too,'” he said. “OK, I agree with the bleached-blonde bad-built butch body. Put everything out there.”
Gaetz has denied the allegations.
