Bill Cassidy: 'I didn't know who Jimmy Kimmel was'

At the intersection of politics and pop culture, Sen. Bill Cassidy got jumped. The Louisiana Republican went on Jimmy Kimmel to explain his attempt at a bipartisan healthcare bill before getting absolutely skewered off air by that partisan funny man.

Why would Cassidy do an interview with a comedian who got his big start instructing women on the street to figure out what was down his pants before palling around with former President Barack Obama? “I actually didn’t know who Jimmy Kimmel was,” Cassidy explained at a Washington Examiner editorial board.
