Jimmy Kimmel railed against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk‘s recent government layoffs on Live, but he also took aim at Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who seemed to forget she is also technically a federal employee.
“Because there isn’t enough dumb happening, we have the Klan mom Marjorie Taylor Greene, who doesn’t seem to think federal workers have any value at all,” Kimmel began during Tuesday’s (Feb. 25) broadcast.
Kimmel aired a clip of Rep. Greene ranting against federal employees during a hearing.
“Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue, those jobs are paid for by the American tax people,” she says in the clip. “Federal employees do not deserve their jobs. Federal employees do not deserve their paychecks.”
Amidst her impassioned speech against her fellow government colleagues, Greene appeared to forget one key thing, which Kimmel was sure to point out.
“Aren’t you a federal employee? You’re a congressperson,” he reminded her.
He then quipped, “Let me tell you something, I can’t believe Kermit The Frog goes out with her.”
Kimmel spent much of his opening monologue Tuesday criticizing Musk and Trump for the mass layoffs they’ve been implementing across the government sector through Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.
“These federal workers are as confused as Elon’s kids were when they realized their father named them after a phone number,” Kimmel joked.
He then pointed out that Musk has “no official authority to fire anyone.”
“He’s not an elected official, he wasn’t appointed, he wasn’t confirmed. Who knew you could fire people at a place you don’t even work? I might try it at Chipotle to see what will happen,” he said.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs on weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on ABC.
