Summary
David Ingle, a White House spokesperson, responded to Tiffany Haddish’s on-air jab at Donald Trump by telling USA Today, “Who the hell is Tiffany Haddish?”
Haddish had mocked Trump on Tuesday after saying he meddled in the U.S. World Cup effort before the team lost to Belgium, adding a joke about his “tiny hands.”
On Wednesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Haddish celebrated the response, saying the president was focused on her and calling the White House mention a milestone in becoming like Kimmel.
The exchange came during Haddish’s run as the show’s first summer guest host, where she also congratulated staff on 6 Emmy nominations and urged Kimmel to take Trump as his date.
