"I will put my Christian values aside to fight you. I'll wear a Girl Scout uniform, so you have something to look at," the host said.

00:00Maybe if you went man-to-man instead of man-to-little-girl, you wouldn't be in this situation.
00:04It's allegedly.
00:05Jimmy Kimmel says he accepts Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore's Twitter invitation to go
00:11man-to-man after the late-night host sent his correspondent, Jake Byrd, to a Moore rally in Alabama.
00:17So let's break down how this feud got started. Kimmel has been mocking the politician on his show
00:22for allegations that Moore sexually assaulted underage girls. On Wednesday night, the ABC host
00:27sent his correspondent, Jake Byrd, to attend one of Moore's rallies in Alabama,
00:32a rally that happened to be at a church. Byrd, dressed in a shirt with Moore's face on it
00:37and a hat that read No. 1, declared himself Moore's biggest fan and interviewed supporters outside.
00:43Once the rally got underway, Byrd was escorted out after repeatedly interrupting Moore's speech.
00:48You got this, Judge. You got this. Don't listen up. Come on out of here. That's a man's back.
00:53Does that look like the face of a molester?
00:55Moore took to Twitter on Thursday with some choice words for the Jimmy Kimmel Live host.
00:59If you want to mock our Christian values, come down here to Alabama and do it man-to-man.
01:04Kimmel responded,
01:05But the exchange didn't stop there.
01:11Moore went on to say,
01:12Despite DC and Hollywood elite's bigotry toward Southerners, Jimmy will save you a seat on the front pew.
01:18Kimmel's comeback?
01:19Okay, Roy, but I'm leaving my daughters at home. P.S. Wear that cute little leather vest.
01:23Later on his ABC show Thursday night, Kimmel said he accepts Moore's invitation, adding that he will come down to Alabama
01:30so he and Moore can have a chat about Christian values.
01:33Kimmel told his audience he is also a Christian who prays and supports his church.
01:37He continued speaking to Moore,
01:39So if you're open to it, when we sit down, I will share with you what I learned at my church.
01:44At my church, forcing yourself on underage girls is a no-no. Some even consider it to be a sin.
01:51Kimmel went on to question Moore's invitation and whether the candidate meant to fight the host.
01:56Kimmel said,
01:57There is no one I would love to fight more than you. I will put my Christian values aside just for you and for that fight.
02:04I'll wear a Girl Scout uniform so you can have something to get excited about.
02:08And the winner, whoever wins the fight, will give all the money we charge for the tickets to charity.
02:13Kimmel added,
02:14My charity will be the women who came forward to say you molested them.
