Jimmy Kimmel shreds Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'dangerous' claims about FBI's search at Trump's estate
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: On May 22, Jimmy Kimmel criticized Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) for her "stupid and dangerous" misinterpretation of standard language in the FBI's 202 search warrant for classified documents at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
Allegedly, the warrant included standard authorization for the use of deadly force if necessary, but Greene has spun this into a narrative suggesting it was an attempt on Trump's life, a claim Trump himself has echoed.
Jimmy Kimmel slams Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'dangerous' claim about Biden DOJ plot
As per Associated Press, former President Donald Trump seized on routine language in an FBI document unsealed May 22 to baselessly assert that the Biden administration intended to assassinate him during a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach almost two years ago.
Sometime into his monologue, Kimmel commented on Marjorie Taylor Greene's reaction to the unsealed files in the Trump stolen documents case.
He noted that while the FBI's authorization to use deadly force during the Mar-a-Lago search in 2022 was standard procedure, Greene and others in the MAGA world portrayed it as a plot to assassinate Trump.
Kimmel criticized Greene's claims as both "stupid and dangerous," highlighting her accusation that the Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to kill Trump.
“What a rich imagination this woman has,” Kimmel said of Greene, who he calls “Klan Mom.”
He further said, “You’d almost think she has the brain of a child."
Kimmel aired a montage of conservative media personalities amplifying the claim.
He then criticized Trump’s "hysterical, dishonest stooges" for distorting the recovery of classified documents into an assassination attempt, while simultaneously downplaying the deadly January 6, 2021 insurrection by Trump supporters as a mere tourist visit.
