Jimmy Kimmel fires back at White House press secretary's "scolding" criticism of him

The Daily Beast

Kayleigh McEnany, Trump's new press secretary, specifically mentioned Kimmel during Wednesday's press briefing after the late-night host said earlier this week that the president is "trying to kill himself" by taking hydroxychloroquine. “No one should be taking this without a prescription from their doctor,” McEnany told reporters. “But that being said, I’ve seen a lot of apoplectic coverage of hydroxychloroquine. You had Jimmy Kimmel saying the president’s ‘trying to kill himself’ by taking it, you had Joe Scarborough saying ‘this will kill you.’ You had Neil Cavuto saying, ‘What have you got to lose? The one thing you have to lose are lives.’” Kimmel responded on his Wednesday show: “She’s definitely still getting her hair colored, right? Anyway, thank you for watching, Kayleigh. It’s always nice to welcome a new fan.”
