The days-long feud between late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel and Fox News’ Sean Hannity is still going strong as of Friday evening.
In fact, after dedicating an extensive part of his show to blasting Kimmel, Hannity tweeted that he will “never stop” the insults until Kimmel apologizes to first lady Melania Trump.
On top of being a pervert you really are dumb, even with 100 writers. I have not been partners with @Disney since 2007. I’m really trying to help you here; CALL IGER! Apologize to the First Lady and I’ll stop. If not, I will NEVER stop. EVER! https://t.co/PQU2HtSakZ

The war of words began when earlier this week when Hannity called out Kimmel for making fun of Trump on his show Monday. His jokes centered on her participation at the White House Easter Egg Roll and her Eastern European accent. Hannity called Kimmel such insults as “dispicable disgrace” and “ass clown.”
Kimmel responded to Hannity’s attacks Thursday during his monologue on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on ABC, harping largely on Hannity’s “ass clown” remark. He said under the Obama administration Hannity was “unable to get an erection,” but now with President Trump in the White House he is “unable to have anything but an erection” that is “driving him mad.”
Kimmel also tweeted a sexually suggestive photo-shopped picture of Hannity with a clown, which he later deleted.
After exchanging barbs on Twitter late Thursday evening, Hannity used his show Friday to yet again sling insults at Kimmel. During the show, she showed old clips of Kimmel, pre-“Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, doing comedic sketches, including one where he pranked people by walking up to them with a fake erection and another in which he was wearing what appeared to be black face.
Hannity said Kimmel was a “sick twisted creepy perverted weirdo,” continued calling him “Harvey Weinstein Jr.,” and claimed he “kissed Obama’s ass,” referring to former President Barack Obama.
“If you’re half the man you pretend to be, all you have to do is apologize to the first lady,” Hannity also said.
Kimmel, who did not have a new show air on Friday, responded to Hannity’s attacks on Twitter.
What you don’t seem to realize is that I LOVE this. I guess it’s one of my perversions https://t.co/OCp9lTwuTj

In response to Hannity calling for him to apologize to the first lady, Kimmel said: “What you don’t seem to realize is that I LOVE this. I guess it’s one of my perversions.”
He also thanked Hannity for a showing the old clips of him on the “The Man Show.”
“The idea that YOU’d call ANYONE a ‘pervert’ while slobbering over Trump, [Roger] Ailes, [Bill] O’Reilly and, YES, Roy Moore – who you DID SUPPORT is, to quote a fella you love very much, ‘Sad!’ #nobodyissafefromKimmelspervertedwrath,” he tweeted.
