Jimmy Kimmel takes aim at JD Vance’s defense of Trump Jesus image

Jimmy Kimmel criticized JD Vance’s defense of Donald Trump's controversial AI-generated “Jesus” image as a “joke.” The vice president, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, told Fox News’ Special Report With Bret Baier on Monday that the president took the post down “because he recognized that a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor in that case.” In Tuesday’s (14 April) episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host took a dig at the Trump administration’s defense of the image, which has faced severe backlash. “First, he was Jesus. Then he was a doctor, and now it was a joke,” Kimmel said, adding, “Why did I get kicked off the air again? I can’t remember.”
