Kimmel called Greene to "Clan Mom" during his monologue on Tuesday, read a tweet in which she attacked some Republican senators and then asked, "Where's Will Smith when you really need him, right?

Representative Marjorie Taylor Green was on the other end of Jimmy Kimmel's speech this week after she strangely described Republican lawmakers who had been supporting Kitangi Brown Jackson's Supreme Court nomination as "pro-pedophilia".

Kimmel called Republican Congresswoman from Georgia "Clan Mom" during his monologue on Tuesday, reading her tweet targeting Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah before asking, "Where's Will Smith when you really need him, huh?" "

Late-night audiences laughed at the joke, which criticized Best Actor winner Smith as slapping Chris Rock in a horrific incident at the Academy Awards last week — but Greene said she found the line threatening rather than funny.

Capitol Police are telling People, "We cannot confirm or discuss any potential investigation," in response to a request for comment and to verify whether Green, who has a history of provocative statements on social media, actually filed a complaint.

Judge Jackson's record regarding sentencing in child pornography cases was repeatedly questioned by Republican senators during the Judiciary Committee's confirmation hearings last month.

Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri was the first to publicize the line of questioning during the hearings. Others, including Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, followed suit at some of the tense moments of the proceedings.

The suggestion that Jackson was unusually lenient in cases involving child pornography has been described as misleading, typical of other federal judges and lacking context by experts and fact-checkers.
