The First Lady accused Kimmel of ‘hateful and violent rhetoric’ and called on ABC to ‘take a stand.’
"How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community," the first lady wrote in a post on X on Monday.
President Donald Trump called on the ABC television network, or its owner Disney, to fire late night host Jimmy Kimmel over a Trump assassination insult aired last Thursday where Kimmel called First Lady Melania Trump an "expectant widow." In his fake White House correspondents speech @JimmyKimmelLive actually joked about Trump’s assassination — just before a real assassin showed up at the real dinner. The post President Trump Calls on Disney-ABC to Fire Jimmy Kimmel appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The joke was likely a reference to the president's declining health, not a call for violence.
In a parody aired days before the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Kimmel called Melania an "expectant widow".
The joke was recorded two days before the White House correspondents’ dinner, where a gunman tried to storm the press gala.
