Wednesday was a difficult time for ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel to understand why Republican senators Marsha Blackburn and Ted Cruz would question Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson over his definition of “woman.” Kimmel resorted to personal attacks to defend Jackson, but in the end made a joke of herself because she too could not come up with a definition.
Kimmel lamented: “[Jackson] He said his nomination shows how far we’ve come as a country, and so some Republican senators on the committee have worked hard to show how far we’ve come. ” “The award for the most original question of the week so far has been given to Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, the only Republican woman on the Judiciary Committee. And she’s still trying to figure out what that word means.”
After Blackburn and Jackson’s video went viral over the issue, Jackson pleaded guilty because he was not a biologist, and Kimmel tried to answer the question: I know the answer. ‘You’re a terrible woman.’ So–? “
No, Jimmy, it’s not. Not discouraged by his own ignorance, Kimmel turned his anger on Cruz: “And then, of course, the Cancun Cruise had to get into action. He likes to talk about these things and he really wants to know what a woman is. “
After running a clip of Cruz telling Jackson that he was the only Supreme Court nominee in history who could not answer that simple question, Kimmel replied, “Yes, he is the only person in history who was asked this heinous question.”
Kimmel then made another clip of Cruz: “The sweaty Teddy then took some time to raise an important philosophical question that many wondered if we might see him at a parade soon.”
This clip explains to Cruz that the question is not just trolling, but has real judicial implications: “Under modern leftist sensitivities, if – I decide now that I am a woman, then obviously I am a woman মানে does that mean that I am a gender- Can I stand up to Article 3 to challenge the based restrictions? “
This naturally went over Kimmel’s head as she resorted to naming more names: “No, that means you will be the ugliest woman in the world … what a man’s slag. I had to hear this pointer from. “
But, even if Ted Cruz is the ugliest woman in the world, she will still be a woman according to the left gender argument.
In other late-night programming, James Corden joked about the lack of bipartisanship, “We’re going to put a man on the moon in a decade.” He quipped that President Biden wanted some of Jackson’s highest voting numbers for himself.

Jimmy Kimmel: The award for the most original question of the week so far has been given to Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, the only Republican woman on the Judiciary Committee. And still trying to figure out what that word means.
Marsha Blackburn: Can you give a definition of the word “woman”?
Ketanji Brown Jackson: Can I give a definition?
Blackburn: Uh-huh, yes.
Jackson: I can’t.
Blackburn: You can’t?
Jackson: Not in this context, I’m not a biologist.
Blackburn: So, do you believe the meaning of the word “woman” is so vague and controversial that you can’t give me a definition?
Kimmel: Hold on. I know the answer. “You’re a terrible woman.” So what–? And then, of course, the Cancun Cruise had to get into action. She likes to talk about these things and she really wants to know what a woman is.
Ted Cruz: You couldn’t define what a woman was, you weren’t a biologist, whatever– I think you’re the only Supreme Court nominee in history who has been unable to answer that question, is she a woman?
Kimmel: Yes, he is the only person in history who has been asked this heinous question. Sweaty Teddy then took some time to raise an important philosophical question that many wondered if we could see him at a parade soon.
Cruz: Under modern leftist sensitivities, if — if– I decide now that I’m a woman, then obviously I’m a woman. Does this mean that I can stand up to Article 3 to challenge a gender-based restriction?
Kimmel: No, that means you will be the ugliest woman in the world. I mean, you’ll be a woman. What a slope of man. I mean, this poor lady had to sit there and hear this pontification from a guy who was wiping the front. You know, Guillermo?
