Kimmel Enjoys Republican Infighting, Roasts Cruz Over Greene’s “Liberal” Turn

Los Angeles, CA – Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back on Thursday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, taking aim at the ongoing political turmoil within the Republican party. Kimmel focused on the surprising criticism Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) leveled against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who has recently challenged her own party’s stance on rising healthcare premiums.

Kimmel praised Greene, albeit sarcastically, for caring about the issue, stating she’s “challenging her party and the speaker of the house.” He poked fun at Greene’s past controversial beliefs, implying that her shift in focus is unexpected and that “sometimes you go so far right, you come out on the other side.”

The comedian then zeroed in on Cruz’s recent interview where the senator claimed Greene is now “very, very liberal.” Kimmel lampooned the statement, pointing out that Greene’s views hardly align with typical liberal ideology and calling Cruz’s statement “a brazen lie.”

Kimmel relished the intra-party conflict, comparing the situation to “Jurassic Park when the velociraptors turn on the guys who run the place.” He concluded his monologue with a final jab at Cruz, joking about his appearance and suggesting that Senator Cruz is “the only sitting U.S. senator who can go trick-or-treating without a mask. His natural face is more than sufficient.”

The full monologue is available for viewing on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! YouTube channel.
