Does Jimmy Kimmel have someone from Oklahoma on his writing staff?
Back in September, he mocked our state's large percentage of anti-maskers while hosting the Emmys. Now, less than a week after he made fun of Mike Morgan's reaction to a dog with six legs and two anuses, the late-night host lampooned Kevin Stitt's regrettable $2-million purchase of Hydroxychloroquine tablets. It's a topic we've covered here and here.

Naturally, the video was shared by partisan national news websites that like to point out the moronic, wasteful, politically-driven mistakes made by dopey politicians who only want to appease Trump:
