During the Wednesday taping of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Anthony Anderson showed why he was selected to guest host during the week of the Republican National Convention as he compared the GOP to the Ku Klux Klan while labeling the party “fascists.”

After recalling how the rapper The Mayor of Magaville performed at the RNC, Anderson had a list of other GOP-inspired puns, “But I'm looking forward to all the MAGA rap groups performing this week. There’s Run RNC, Assault and Pepper, Bone Spurs and Harmony, Cypress Hillary's Emails.”

 

 

Anderson concluded his word plays with “my favorite: the Wu Klux Klan.”

Moving on, Anderson recalled:

That wasn't the only tribute to Trump last night. A lot of people wore bandages over their ears out of solidarity and stupidity. Now, these are the same folks who wouldn't put a piece of cloth on their face during COVID, because they thought it looked ridiculous, and for all the other fascists, oops, I mean, fashionistas in the Republican Party, remember when Donald Trump sold those $400 gold sneakers? Well, now, Trump's got a new shoe with the image of him pumping his fist after the attack on Saturday. There they are, they’re called the Ear Jordans. They go for $299 a pair.

Apparently, Anderson didn’t get the memo about the need to dial down the heated rhetoric.

Here is a transcript for the July 17-taped show:
