During his opening monologue Thursday night, ABC’s late-night “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel slammed Vice President Mike Pence for preparing to get the coronavirus vaccine Friday morning and nastily declared: “The only cure Mike Pence should get right now is a bottle of Clorox and a heat lamp.”
“A blizzard on top of COVID is like a hat on another hat. Speaking of cold, white stuff, Mike Pence is expected to get his first of two Pfizer shots tomorrow,” Kimmel slimmed. After briefly noting that Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence were doing this as a public service “to show that the vaccine is safe,” the left-wing hack ranted: “I guess the thinking is, if it’s good enough for America’s first Karen, it should be good enough for the rest of them too....this is exciting for Mike Pence. Getting vaccinated is the only time mother ever does shots with him....”
Kimmel then argued Pence didn’t deserve to even get the treatment:
And I think it’s worth mentioning that Mike Pence, who is the head of the COVID task force, wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal six months ago saying there would be no second wave of the virus, this was nothing but hysteria from the media. So maybe save that dose for somebody else. The only cure Mike Pence should get right now is a bottle of Clorox and a heat lamp.
Wrapping up his verbal assault on the Vice President, Kimmel predicted Pence would soon dissolve into political oblivion: “And even though he’s only got about a month left before we never, ever think about him again, Mike Pence is still smooching the boss baby’s carrot-colored behind.”
Following November’s election, Kimmel was outraged that it was so close and lashed out at voters: “I feel like I overestimated the American people.”

JIMMY KIMMEL: A blizzard on top of COVID is like a hat on another hat. Speaking of cold, white stuff, Mike Pence is expected – [laughter] – to get his first of two Pfizer shots tomorrow. He and his wife Karen will be doing it on television to show that the vaccine is safe. I guess the thinking is, if it’s good enough for America’s first Karen, it should be good enough for the rest of them too. [Laughter and applause] But I have to say, this is exciting for Mike Pence. Getting vaccinated is the only time mother ever does shots with him, so. [Laughter] And I think it’s worth mentioning that Mike Pence, who is the head of the COVID task force, wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal six months ago saying there would be no second wave of the virus, this was nothing but hysteria from the media. So maybe save that dose for somebody else. The only cure Mike Pence should get right now is a bottle of Clorox and a heat lamp. [Laughter and applause] The vice poodle was in Georgia today, Columbus, Georgia, to give a shot in the arm to Republican candidates in the Senate runoff, and as he is known to do, he made one h-e-double-hockey-sticks of an entrance.
SEN. KELLY LOEFFLER [R-GA]: Vice President Mike Pence!
KIMMEL: Oh, there he is, white lightning on the way. That’s as close as he’s allowed to be to another woman. [Laughter] And even though he’s only got about a month left before we never, ever think about him again, Mike Pence is still smooching the boss baby’s carrot-colored behind.
