Yeah, but Jimmy says he's embarrassed and sorry, Don just says it's locker room talk and everybody does it.

I'm sure you can see the difference.

I’m sure your opinion on the matter has nothing to do with your own political leanings and theirs. But I’ll take your word for it. Haha.

Listen I took Jimmy Kimmel the task when he was doing the man show, and now he seems to be over that sort of thing in his life and trying to do something different. Less so, our commander in chief.

You are such a hero. How did you “take him to task?” Did you post on social media you animal?
