Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has been criticized by fans and allies of President Donald Trump for his controversial comment about newly confirmed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. The comments were made during Kimmel's monologue on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and were part of an attempt to poke fun at members of the President's Cabinet, including Mullin, who had previously served as a senator from Oklahoma since 2023. His comments have been met with criticism on social media, with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) calling Kimmel an "elitist bastard" and "even a phenomenally successful" DHS secretary.
