by EG
Former congressman Joe Walsh is facing backlash for comments he made about Jimmy Kimmel's newborn son.
The late-night host, 49, revealed on Tuesday, May 2, that his baby boy, William "Billy" John, underwent open heart surgery three days after he was born on April 21. In the emotional 13-minute monologue, Kimmel made an impassioned plea for affordable health care for everyone.
Walsh replied on Twitter. "Sorry Jimmy Kimmel: your sad story doesn't obligate me or anybody else to pay for somebody else's health care," he tweeted. "Health care is complicated. Health care is bankrupting America. But instead of thinking thru all of that, we'd rather cry with @jimmykimmel."
