Jimmy Kimmel Reacts to Trump’s “Silent Piggy” Comment to Journalist

Donald Trump is facing examination due to his ties with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which is overshadowing some of his other issues.

In a Jimmy Kimmel Live! segment from Tuesday evening, the host points out a recent event where Trump mocked Bloomberg’s White House Correspondent Catherine Lucey on Air Force One. When Lucey asked Trump about Epstein, he shot back, “Quiet piggy.”

“He referred to her as piggy,” Kimmel exclaims in astonishment. “He said, ‘quiet, piggy’ to a reporter and it hardly made headlines. If a man addressed a female colleague like that in a workplace harassment training video, you’d think, ‘Oh, that’s over the top. No one would behave that way.’ If the pilot on Air Force One conducted himself like the president, he wouldn’t be permitted to operate the aircraft.”
