Jimmy Kimmel launched an attack on Elon Musk after the new Twitter owner suggested there may be "more than meets the eye" when it comes to the Paul Pelosi attack. Musk fired back with a hilarious response.
Shortly after the attack on Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Hillary Clinton took to Twitter to politicize the violence, claiming that the suspect – David DePape – was actually motivated by politics.
"The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories. It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow," Clinton tweeted.

Musk replied to Hillary's allegations by pointing out "There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye."
This was when late night funny man Jimmy Kimmel jumped into the fray, saying, “It has been interesting, over the years, to watch you blossom from the electric car guy into a fully-formed piece of s**t," to which Musk responded with a simple sarcastic emoji.

Musk wasn't the only person who didn't think much of Kimmel's tweet. Ian Miles Cheong pointed out that it's very likely the attacker is not a Trump supporter.
It’s interesting how your mind remains closed to the possibility that the attack might not have been committed by a MAGA supporter. Have you ever heard of a nudist MAGA supporter who protests for BLM and has pride flags?
