It’s time to find out who had the Worst Media Quote of the Week. This interactive series is where you — our loyal NewsBusters visitors and MRC supporters — get to vote on which leftist journalist or celebrity had the worst media quote of the week.
The results of the Worst Media Quote of the Week are in and the winner is…
Jimmy Kimmel!
ABC’s late-night talk show host ran away from the pack with 76 percent of the vote. Kimmel won for this sick joke: “Our First Lady Melania is here. Look at Mel, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.” Former MSNBC host Joy Reid came in second place with 20 percent. Finishing last was former NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd at 4 percent.
