It's Georgie!': Jimmy Kimmel trolls George Santos with hilarious 'Barbie' spoof
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Republican Congressman-elect George Santos on Wednesday night, November 29, using a 'Barbie' spoof to skewer the Long Island pol's troubled past.
Kimmel's segment, which aired on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" featured a Santos look-alike doll recounting his various controversies, including his false claims of being a volleyball star and an MIT graduate.
Kimmel's hilarious skit rips through Santos' fabricated claims
"I'm Georgie, and I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world," the Santos doll said. "But unlike my fellow Barbies, I'm also a liar, a cheat, and a fraud."
The Santos doll went on to detail his resume 'embellishments' that included his fabrication of a career as a Goldman Sachs executive.
"I may not be the real Barbie, but I'm definitely the most delusional," the doll said.
Kimmel's spoof comes as Santos faces mounting scrutiny over his past. Santos has admitted to embellishing his resume, and he is also facing allegations of campaign finance violations.
Despite the controversy, Santos is expected to be sworn in as a member of Congress next month.
Santos' controversies have led to calls for him to resign before he takes office. However, he has so far resisted these calls, saying that he is innocent of any wrongdoing.
Kimmel took aim at other GOP Reps too
Kimmel's segment is sure to add to the growing chorus of criticism against Santos.
The comedian has a history of using his show to skewer politicians, and he is sure to continue to do so in the months to come.
In addition to the Santos spoof, Kimmel also used his show on Wednesday night on November 29, to take aim at other Republicans, including Kevin McCarthy and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Kimmel's willingness to criticize Republicans has made him a popular target of conservative pundits.
However, he has also won praise from many Democrats, who appreciate his willingness to speak out against right-wing extremism.
It remains to be seen how long Kimmel will continue to target Republicans in his comedy.
However, one thing is for sure: he is not afraid to speak his mind, and he is sure to continue to be a thorn in the side of the GOP.
