Jimmy Kimmel Apologizes for Gay Slur Aimed at Sean Hannity

Last week, Fox News host, Sean Hannity called the ABC late-night talk show host a “pervert,” a “pig” and “Harvey Weinstein Jr” over past sexist gags on his former series The Man Show and slammed him as a “bully” for making fun of Trump’s wife. With Hannity being an avid fan of Trump, and Kimmel being against his morals and policies this was bound to happen eventually, but not like this.

With a fiery back-and-forth on Twitter, Kimmel had come under fire during this fight with Hannity in which he encouraged Hannity to “get back on top.” Many users called the comment homophobic.

Don't worry – just keep tweeting – you'll get back on top! (or does Trump prefer you on bottom?) Either way, keep your chin up big fella..XO https://t.co/R4QJCoGYCL
