LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent comedic jab, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Lara Trump's assertion that the Trump team has "lawsuits in 81 states," sparking a wave of laughter across the internet.

Despite the conclusive findings that the 2020 election was conducted fairly, some allies of former President Donald Trump continue to propagate the unsubstantiated notion of widespread voter fraud.

Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious take on Lara Trump's '81 states' assertion

Lara Trump, newly appointed co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), recently reiterated this stance, claiming the existence of legal battles in an improbable 81 states.

During his Wednesday night monologue on ABC, Kimmel seized upon this remark, injecting his trademark humor into the situation. He quipped about the absurdity of the statement, playfully suggesting fictional states like "Eleven-essee" and "Out-diana" where lawsuits were supposedly taking place.

Kimmel remarked, "Not just Tennessee, eleven-essee, twelve-essee. West Dakota, South Virginia. Indiana, Out-diana, you name it, they’re suing."



 

Jimmy Kimmel's satirical skewering of Trump's post-election maneuvers

Kimmel didn't stop there, extending his comedic critique to other aspects of Trump's post-election activities. He ridiculed the idea of Trump already having a transition team in place for a potential 2024 victory, sarcastically envisioning a scenario where thousands of poll-watchers are trained and deployed nationwide.

Regarding Trump's transition team, Kimmel chuckled, "They will be training and installing several thousands of poll-watchers across the country."

Further adding to the humor, Kimmel lampooned Trump's social media post boasting about "crushing" Biden in Pennsylvania based on a one-point lead in a poll, likening it to exaggerated comparisons between towering figures like Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Hart.

"Somehow one point is the difference between Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Hart there," Kimmel said with a laugh.

In a final comedic flourish, Kimmel highlighted the irony of Nikki Haley still garnering significant votes in the Pennsylvania primary despite withdrawing from the race weeks earlier, much to the delight of his audience.
