Late night host Jimmy Kimmel and comic Chelsea Handler have come under fire for separate insult tweets in which they used being gay<\/a> as a punchline.<\/p>\n While trading barbs with FOX News host Sean Hannity, Kimmel tweeted: \u201cWhen your clown makeup rubs off on Trump\u2019s ass<\/a>, does it make his butt<\/a> look like a Creamsicle?\u201d<\/p>\n When your clown makeup rubs off on Trump\u2019s ass<\/a>, does it make his butt<\/a> look like a Creamsicle? t.co\/DEhmfOh0Hn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) April 6, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He followed that up with another tweet: \u201cDon\u2019t worry \u2013 just keep tweeting \u2013 you\u2019ll get back on top! (or does Trump prefer you on bottom?) Either way, keep your chin up big fella..XO\u201d<\/p>\n Don’t worry \u2013 just keep tweeting \u2013 you’ll get back on top!
