Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican, reported Jimmy Kimmel to the Capitol Police after the ABC host joked that Will Smith should slap her, according to a Wednesday tweet.
The outspoken congresswoman alleged that Kimmel’s joke was tantamount to a “threat of violence.”
“ABC, this threat of violence against me by @jimmykimmel has been filed with the @CapitolPolice,” she posted to Twitter.

The late-night host made the joke Tuesday during his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, after the Georgia representative suggested Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitt Romney were all “pro-pedophile.”
Greene tweeted the allegation after her colleagues said they would vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
There is a line in the sand.
Either you are Pro-pedophile and Pro-transgender biological men or you defend children and women.
Period.
There is no other option.

Kimmel called Greene a “Klan mom” who was “especially upset” that members of the GOP would vote to confirm Jackson.
