'You're Embarrassing Yourself': Jimmy Kimmel Names & Shames Brazen Trump 'Bootlicker'
HuffPost
The late night host found one GOP lawmaker trying way too hard.
Jimmy Kimmel said Donald Trump has named a “battalion of bozos” to staff his administration, including former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as attorney general and vaccine denier Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead Health and Human Services.
Yet already Trump’s MAGA faithful in Congress are falling in line to praise Trump for his picks.
“The list of bootlickers is long,” Kimmel said.
But one name stands out: Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas), who this week went over the top as he said GOP lawmakers need to do anything Trump asks.
“So now he’s got a mission statement. His mission, his goals and objectives, whatever that is — we need to embrace it. All of it, every single word,” Nehls said. “If Donald Trump says, ‘Jump three feet high and scratch your head,’ we all jump three feet high and scratch our heads. That’s it.”
The late night host said a statement released on Wednesday sure sounded like it had another meaning.
