He also turned his attention to the crowd’s behavior: “The people in the crowd, when he did this, they loved it. He mocked this woman’s story about a sexual assault, they ate it up, they laughed, they cheered. I really don’t understand it.” The comments were perhaps even more surprising in the context, which Kimmel noted was a “rally to support Mississippi’s first-ever female senator.” While the White House stated that Trump wasn’t mocking [Ford](http://time.com/5414486/christine-blasey-ford-time-cover/)’s assault, but rather “[stating the facts](https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/03/politics/white-house-trump-ford-defense/index.html)”, key [swing Senate Republicans](http://time.com/5413785/donald-trump-christine-blasey-ford-mocking-susan-collins/) and some of Trump’s usual supporters distanced themselves from his comments. “He even got a bad review from his closest friends,” Kimmel noted. “When Fox & Friends thinks Trump blew it, it got blown.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5415301/jimmy-kimmel-trump-ford/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5415301/jimmy-kimmel-trump-ford/"},"headline":"'No Moral Compass.'
