Melania Trump condemned Jimmy Kimmel's remarks during a parody on his show, linking them to violence at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. She described Kimmel's rhetoric as corrosive and divisive, urging ABC to take a stand against his behavior. Donald Trump also expressed his disapproval of Kimmel's comments on social media. This incident follows a previous attempt by FCC chair Brendan Carr to target Kimmel, highlighting ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the comedian.
"Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn't comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America."
"People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him."
"It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC's leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense of our community."
