Jimmy Kimmel Seeks To End Feud With Sean Hannity After Getting Death Threats

After insinuating that Sean Hannity and Donald Trump have had a sexual relationship in the past, Jimmy Kimmel is attempting to end his feud with the Fox News host.

The comedian took to Twitter to call out the right-wing trolls who have threatened his family in the past few days and to apologize to anyone who was offended by his jokes.

“While I admit I did have fun with our back and forth, after some thought, I realize that the level of vitriol from all sides (mine and me included) does nothing good for anyone and, in fact, is harmful to our country,” he wrote in a statement shared to Twitter on Sunday. “Even in 2018, the vile attacks against my wife and wishes for death on my infant son are shocking, and I encourage those who made them to give their words and actions thought.”

“I will take Sean Hannity at his word that he was genuinely offended by what I believed and still believe to be a harmless and silly aside referencing our First Lady’s accent,” he wrote. “Miss Trump almost certainly has enough to worry about without being used as a prop to increase TV ratings.”

“I am hopeful that Sean Hannity will learn from this too and continue his newly-found advocacy for women, immigrants and First Ladies and that he will triumph in his heroic battle against sexual harassment and perversion,” he concluded.
