In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, President Biden expressed his love for Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell despite McConnell organizing the entire Republican Party to obstruct all of Biden’s proposed legislation. Kimmel offered some surprising pushback, highlighting how McConnell has lied multiple times about his positions and how Democrats may need to take hints from the Republicans on how to play politics. Cenk Uygur and Jayar Jackson discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

“Do you mind if I ask you some serious questions?” Jimmy Kimmel asked Joe Biden at the start of the president’s first in-person late-night interview since becoming commander in chief. During Wednesday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the late-night host had several pressing queries for Biden, starting with one about the country’s gun-violence problem: “Why haven’t we done anything?”
Biden blamed “intimidation by the NRA” for the government’s inaction, adding, “This is not your father’s Republican Party. This is a MAGA party…. You find people who are worried, I believe, that if they vote for rational gun policy, they’re going to be primaried. And they’re going to lose in a hard-right Republican primary.”
In a strange twist, Biden then praised the “straight relationship” he’s had with Republican Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, despite their political differences. “He’s a guy that, when he says something, he means it,” the president said. Kimmel shot back, “Like when he said we can’t confirm a Supreme Court justice with a year left, and then said the opposite?””
