Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday questioned how Donald Trump’s administration could work out a deal with Iran using a not-so-subtle swipe at the president and his Cabinet.
“How is this negotiation even going to work?” the late night host began.
“This is a government of religious fanatics who don’t believe in democracy. They use domestic security forces to terrorize their own citizens — and now we expect Iran to negotiate with them?”
The studio audience seemed to miss Kimmel’s jab at both countries’ governments, which was initially met with a few chuckles and seconds of silence.
“I — never mind,” said Kimmel, prompting heavier laughter from the audience.
