‘He doesn’t even want to admit he’s Eric’s father’

Jimmy Kimmel roasted Donald Trump for declaring himself the “father of IVF” during an all-female town hall on Fox News.

During the town hall in Cumming, Georgia, with moderator Harris Faulkner, which aired on Wednesday, Trump called Senator Katie Britt of Alabama “a fantastically attractive person” before telling the audience, “I am the father of IVF.”

The Republican presidential candidate’s campaign later said he was joking.

During Wednesday night’s show, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host joked about Trump’s bold claim.

“So they loaded up the women, about 100 women – this is the first time Grover Cleveland has been around that many women since they started padlocking the doors of Miss Teen USA – and it was quite an interview, very good job,” Kimmel joked. .

He continued: “They got to the popular topic of IVF. Now that the Supreme Court has caved to the far right on abortion, many rightly believe that IVF is next on the list.”

While Trump claims to support fertility treatment, Democrats warn against it toppling over Roe v. Wade and rolling back abortion rights could pave the way for Republicans to next focus on IVF access.

“Now that Trump has learned what IVF is – which I still don’t know for sure – he wants to pretend that not only is he a huge supporter of IVF, he wants people to know that he is the biggest supporter of IVF,” Kimmel continued.

“Now he claims to be the father of IVF, which has been happening since 1978,” the host added, noting the date the first child was conceived using the fertility treatment.

Kimmel then threw in a joke about Trump’s parentage. “This man won’t even admit he’s Eric’s father – he’s the father of IVF,” he teased. “Maybe it’s short for Ivanka in his head.”

Vice President Kamala Harris also mocked Trump’s self-proclaimed title, calling it “pretty bizarre.”

In his opening monologue, Kimmel also joked that Trump was angry at Fox News for giving his Democratic presidential rival a primetime slot on the network for her interview with host Bret Baier on Wednesday.

“Fox signed her in primetime, which I would have liked to see a bottle of ketchup on the wall when Trump got the news she was doing primetime,” Kimmel teased.

During the fiery interview — the vice president’s first with the news network — Baier and Harris clashed over illegal immigration, President Joe Biden and Trump himself.

Kimmel said Baier went “extra hard” on Harris in an effort to curry favor with his Fox News colleagues.

“It is known that Bret Baier committed the terrible crime of reporting the factual news on Fox,” Kimmel said.

“And he clearly felt the pressure to go extra hard on Harris, so they had him sit in the lunchroom after the show, and he did exactly that, which immediately earned him compliments from his comrades,” Kimmel said before a montage from Fox News stars showed. praise their colleague.

“Okay, save it for the after-show orgy, everyone,” he added. “You know what, they’re all sitting there in fear imagining Donald Trump in the toilet looking at them.”
