Jimmy ‘Elitist Snot’ Kimmel Gets Exposed by Media Research Center’s Britt Hughes [WATCH]

A public exchange involving late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and commentator Britt Hughes has drawn attention to the background of Sen. Markwayne Mullin and broader questions about qualifications for public office.

The exchange began after Kimmel commented on Mullin’s background prior to his time in the Senate, referencing his work history and athletic pursuits.

“Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber,” Kimmel said.

He added, “That’s right, we have a plumber protecting us from terrorism.”

Hughes responded by outlining Mullin’s career and personal history, pointing to his work in business and public service.

“Now, let me tell you something about Mark Wayne Mullen,” Hughes said, before describing events from his early adulthood.

“When he was 20 years old, his dad got really sick, so he dropped out of college to go run his dad’s HVAC company.”

According to Hughes, Mullin expanded the business significantly over time. “He took it from a six-man operation to a multi-million dollar business with more than 150 employees,” she said.

She added that the company continued to grow. “By July of 2011, Mullin Plumbing was the state of Oklahoma’s largest plumbing service company.”

Hughes also described additional business ventures.

“Within two years, Mullin owned eight different companies,” she said.

She noted that Mullin pursued other activities alongside his business efforts.

“He was 35, oh, and he did all of that while becoming a professional MMA fighter, launching a home improvement radio program, and raising six children, three of whom are adopted.”

She further stated that Mullin entered public service during that time. “And also becoming a congressman and later a senator,” Hughes said.

Hughes contrasted Mullin’s background with Kimmel’s career, offering a critique of the late-night host’s remarks.

“Jimmy Kimmel, on the other hand, is a half-rate comedian who hasn’t been funny in over a decade,” she said.

She added, “Whose viewership is tanking like the Hindenburg, and who apparently has extreme contempt for the American blue-collar worker.”

The exchange highlighted differing views about what constitutes relevant experience for elected office, particularly regarding candidates from nontraditional or working-class backgrounds.

Hughes argued that individuals with practical experience in business and trades bring valuable perspectives to government.

“We don’t need less Americans from ordinary backgrounds in our government, we need more,” Hughes said.

She concluded by criticizing what she described as dismissive attitudes toward such candidates.

“Only an elitist snot would think that they are incapable of running their own government.”
