Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,\u201d Kimmel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jimmy Kimmel: &quot;Our First Lady is here. Mrs. Trump\u2026 you have a glow like an expectant widow.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LdloPzMyXr\">pic.twitter.com\/LdloPzMyXr<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Breaking911 (@Breaking911) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Breaking911\/status\/2048517635088773466?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 26, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The remark drew fierce backlash after a suspected would-be assassin attempted to storm the Correspondents\u2019 Dinner on Saturday. Authorities say 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton armed with multiple weapons and opened fire, wounding an agent before being taken into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the aftermath, Melania Trump took to X with a blistering response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKimmel\u2019s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn\u2019t comedy\u2014his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cPeople like Kimmel shouldn\u2019t 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. Enough is enough,\u201d the first lady continued. \u201cIt is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC\u2019s leadership enable Kimmel\u2019s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>President Donald Trump echoed the call, demanding immediate action from the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWow, Jimmy Kimmel, who is in no way funny as attested to by his terrible Television Ratings, made a statement on his Show that is really shocking,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe then stated, \u2018Our First Lady, Melania, is here\u2026 you have a glow like an expectant widow.\u2019 A day later a lunatic tried entering the ballroom of the White House Correspondents Dinner, loaded up with a shotgun, handgun, and many knives. He was there for a very obvious and sinister reason,\u201d Trump continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel\u2019s despicable call to violence\u2026 this is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kimmel, however, pushed back during his Monday night monologue, insisting the joke was harmless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt was a very light roast joke about the fact that he&#8217;s almost 80 and she&#8217;s younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination. And they know that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>While expressing sympathy for those shaken by the incident, Kimmel rejected any suggestion his comments played a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI am sorry that you and the president and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that. I really am,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause no one got killed doesn&#8217;t mean it wasn&#8217;t traumatic and scary\u2026 But do you want us to believe that a joke I made three days before this dinner had any effect on anything that happened?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>He added, \u201cI\u2019ve been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence\u2026 and I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the backlash, ABC appears unmoved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A network source told <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Breaking911\/status\/2048517635088773466\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Page Six<\/a> that executives are standing by their late-night host and have no plans to discipline him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s back to taping per usual. They\u2019re moving on,\u201d the insider said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Kimmel has faced controversy before. Last year, ABC parent company Disney briefly suspended \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d after comments related to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk triggered outrage and drew scrutiny from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who called the remarks \u201csome of the sickest conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kimmel later returned to air, saying he never intended to make light of the tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, despite renewed calls for his removal, it appears Kimmel\u2019s job is safe\u2014leaving critics fuming and the broader debate over media rhetoric once again front and center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class= \"house-ad\"><center><p class= \"sponsored\">Sponsored<\/p><strong><span style=\" color:#ff0004\" class=\" has-inline-color has-text-align-center\"><a href= \"https:\/\/secure.winred.com\/kennedy\/29ed3a76-1a70-4341-bb5a-64fcf6099096?utm_term=db-kennedy-em63-003&#038;source_code=db-kennedy-em63-003&#038;recurring=true&#038;vin=b3823499-026e-4dc2-8e63-054534f791d7\"> John Kennedy here.
