Marjorie Taylor Greene has revealed that she has taken legal action after Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about her and Will Smith.
During Tuesday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the 54-year-old host was speaking about recent tweets from Greene in which she said that GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitt Romney were "pro-pedophile" after the three voiced their support for voting Ketanji Brown Jackson as judge to the Supreme Court.
The comments made by Greene, R-Ga., come after some Republicans have accused Jackson of sentencing sex offenders with lenient sentences.
Watch Kimmel's original tweet in the video below:Speaking about Greene's tweets, Kimmel said on this week's show: "Marjorie Taylor Greene, this woman - Klan Mom - she's especially upset with the three Republican senators who said they'll vote 'yes' on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson who's nominated for Supreme Court.
"She tweeted: 'Murkowsi, Collins, and Romney are pro-pedophile. They just voted for KBJ.'"
Referencing the now-infamous Oscars slap, Kimmel then said: "Wow, where is Will Smith when you really need him, huh?"
However, despite the studio audience laughing and applauding, Greene did not see any humor in the comment.
Sharing the video of the clip, Greene tweeted the ABC network, saying: "@ABC, this threat of violence against me by
@jimmykimmel has been filed with the @CapitolPolice."
Not willing to stay quiet on the matter, Kimmel also took to Twitter to bash Greene's alleged filing.
"Officer? I would like to report a joke," he tweeted.
Not only that, but Kimmel also brought up Greene's response on Thursday's show, saying: "On our show Tuesday night, M.T.G. — ‘Klan Mom’ as we call her — earlier in the day called three of her fellow Republicans ‘pro-pedophile’ for supporting Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court — which is lovely. A lovely thing to say. So I made a joke.
Watch Kimmel's response to Greene reporting him to the police below:"I said, ‘Where is Will Smith when you need him?’ And the audience laughed. And then she saw it, and she decided she was going to get some political mileage out of this."
Kimmel continued: "She called the police. Not only did she call the police, she called the same police she voted against giving a congressional gold medal to for defending our Capitol against the insurrection she helped incite on Jan. 6. That’s who she called — the people she wanted to defund."
"It’s amazing how quickly you can go from ‘These liberals! You can’t say anything anymore’ to ‘What did you say? I’m calling the cops!’ Must be that cancel culture they’re always talking about," Kimmel continued.
Kimmel then referenced another tweet Greene wrote addressing the gag, in which she told the host: "You weren’t joking. You hide your misogyny and your racism behind your 'jokes' on @ABC.
"This was a dog whistle to the violent left to assault me or worse, and your already inspiring fantasies of violence against me.
"How many new death threats will I get that are your fans?"
But it would seem that Kimmel is not at all concerned by Greene's legal threats, as he concluded: "This woman, remember, she is the one who endorsed fringe conspiracy theories and repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians.
"Now she’s dialing 911 because she got made fun of. She’s a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time — a 'snowciopath'."
