Jimmy Kimmel slammed Caitlyn Jenner over comments she made about homeless people in California on Fox News.
Jenner, who is running for governor in California, told Sean Hannity earlier this week that her wealthy friends are leaving California because of the state's homeless population.
Jenner specifically cited a friend who she said was "packing up his hangar" at an airport. Critics on social media gleefully called the comments tone deaf, and Kimmel joined in on Thursday night's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
"Is it transphobic to call a trans person an ignorant a–hole?" Kimmel asked after airing a clip of the interview. "Or does calling that trans person an ignorant a–hole – even though she happens to be a trans person – show that we don't discriminate against ignorant a-holes, no matter their gender orientation? It's a tough one. I don't know, I guess we'll let the Internet decide tomorrow."
