The host said that the lawmaker is a "sociopath" for reporting him to the police after making a joke about her.
She got made fun of and she is calling the police. He said on his show on Friday night that she was a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time.

On his show on Tuesday, he mocked the three GOP senators for saying they would vote for Judge Jackson, who was nominated to the Supreme Court.
"WOW, where is Will Smith when you really need him?", said the host, seemingly referring to the actor hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars.
The Georgia congresswoman responded by accusing Kimmel of a threat of violence and said that she had reported him to Capitol police.
The officer was responded to by Kimmel. I would like to make a joke.

The late-night TV host doubled down on his criticisms of Greene on his ABC show on Friday, describing her as "probably the worst woman in American politics" and calling her out for complaining about threats of violence when she has previously endorsed assassinating top Democratic politicians.
After being one of a few Republicans to vote against awarding the Congressional Gold medal for their work during the January 6 Capitol riot, Greene called on Capitol police for help.
The office of the Congresswoman takes all threats of violence towards her very seriously, according to a spokesman for the office.
Last night, Jimmy Kimmel called for violence to be committed against a woman. It will not be accepted.
The US Capitol Police could not confirm or discuss any potential investigations.
