«In the race between dumb and evil, dumb’s in the lead,» ABC host Jimmy Kimmel jokes
Jimmy Kimmel was, like a lot of people, interested in the news this week that Trump administration officials openly discussed apparently classified military plans in a group chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal — a chat that included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.
But because of the details about how such a huge screw-up happened, Kimmel confessed during his monologue on Tuesday that he was actually enjoying it.
“Quick question for the audience – did anyone else get a group chat invite from the National Security Adviser today? Just me?” Kimmel joked. “I know we shouldn’t enjoy the fact that we have a confederacy of dunces running this country. But I’ll be honest. I can’t help it. I’m enjoying it right now.”
“This week, in the race between dumb and evil, dumb’s in the lead! Dumb has a big lead!” Kimmel said with glee.
