Representative Jimmy Patronis (R-Fla.) apparently didn’t think Jelly Roll’s jokes about Donald Trump’s weight were any kind of laughing matter.
During Monday’s monologue on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” guest host Jelly Roll showed some real comic timing when he made fun of Trump’s weight.
“Well, Mr. President, from one fat pig to another, take it from me, that physical fitness is very important,” he said. “And trust me, you’ll be happy to see your penis again.”
The singer noted he recently lost more than 300 pounds, concluding, “That means I’ve lost an entire Donald Trump.”
He added, “And let’s be honest, based on his approval rating, it seems like most of the country wants to do the same thing.”
Patronis had such a beef with Jelly Roll making jokes about his fearless leader, he announced Wednesday that the singer is persona non grata in his congressional district.
Seriously. No joke. He even took to X to make his position clear.
Ironically, Patronis hasn’t always been a Jelly Roll hater.
A social media user pointed to a Patronis post from June 2024 that read very different from Wednesday’s rant.
It seems Patronis wasn’t the only person who didn’t appreciate Jelly Roll teasing Trump, however.
Enough people apparently griped that the singer felt obliged to commit to the bit even harder on Tuesday’s show.
“You know what? I did a couple of jokes … because I’m hosting a damn late-night show,” Jelly Roll said. “Let’s be honest for a second. Any U.S. president should be able to handle a few jokes, right? They should also be able to handle gas prices, healthcare, and the occasional international conflict.”
Meanwhile, Patronis’ tweet got people making fun of him ― instead of Trump.
