Jimmy Kimmel has delivered a low-blow to Trump supporters gathering for the Washington march today (January 6) in a scathing monologue on his eponymous talk show.
"The 'Million Moron March' is tomorrow. President Trump says he'll be there. Of course, he will," the late-night comedian joked on Tuesday.

The protest, encouraged by the outgoing President Trump, is being organized in the hopes of disrupting the formal certification of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden's victory.
The talk show host went on to mock yesterday's rally in Washington where local podcast host Clay Clark encouraged people to hug each other, despite the risk this presents to their health as a result of the ongoing pandemic.

"Turn to the person next to you and give them a hug, someone you don't know," Clark said. "Go hug somebody. Go ahead and spread it out, mass spreader. It's a mass-spreader event! It's a mass-spreader event. It's a mass-spreader event."
Kimmel described Clark as a "real dipwit", claiming that he is trying to "to convince the hardcore members of Trump’s cult to kill themselves once and for all."
"Now everybody come up and grab a Tide Pod, let's eat!" Kimmel quipped. "The stupidity is breathtaking. Literally. Many of those people will be on a ventilator soon."
At another point in the monologue, Kimmel joked about why Ivanka accidentally tagged the singer Meatloaf in a selfie of her father.
In addition to this, the comedian advertised a spoof "MAGA rally box set" for Trump supporters to have the opportunity to relive his campaign trail after he has left office this month, as well as mocking Fox Business host Lou Dobbs for his support of Donald Trump.
This comes after Trump vowed to "fight like hell" to prevent incoming President-elect Joe Biden from taking the White House at a Georgia rally on January 4.
The outgoing president said that the Democrats are "not gonna take this White House" and that he was going to "fight like hell" against the result of the "rigged" election.

Meanwhile, all living former defense secretaries wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post that "the time for questioning the results has passed."
