On Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel dedicated his nightly monologue to what he called “CSI Episode 2: I Can’t Believe Donald Trump Is Not in Prison Yet,” also known as the Jan. 6 congressional hearings.
Trump’s strange decision to “reject the advice” of his team members and declare victory on election night, even though Fox News said he had lost, was supposedly from a “seemingly drunk.” Rudy Giuliani.
“Apparently drunk, which, by the way, is the title of Rudy Giuliani’s biography,” Kimmel joked. “Rudy Giuliani told him to go out and say he won. The way you can tell Rudy is drunk is that his breath smells more like a drink than cigar and cat drunk for a change.”
The accusation that Giuliani was a drunken mess was backed by former Trump aide Jason Miller, who, when asked if there was anyone that night who “according to your observation had drunk too much,” replied: “Um … Mayor Giuliani.”
Kimmel couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, so Rudy was drunk. The big question is, what’s Donald Trump’s excuse? He’s not even drinking! I mean, this testimony from his lawyers, his employees, his campaign advisers, his own family, there are really only two options here: either Donald Trump lied and committed several crimes trying to force a pick, or he’s out of his idiot. ‘rocker. I guess it could be both.’
When Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner was asked during his testimony if he had ever shared his perspective on Giuliani’s intoxication plan with the president, he stammered and replied, “Um … I guess … Uh … Yeah. “
