"People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate, Melania Trump said in a social media post later echoed by her husband."
"Kimmel described the joke during his Monday night monologue as a light roast about the first couple's age difference and 'not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination.'"
"'I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject,' Kimmel said. 'I do, and I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it.'"
Melania Trump criticized Jimmy Kimmel for a joke describing her as having 'the glow of an expectant widow,' calling for his firing. Kimmel's remark was part of a routine during a comedy segment related to the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Following a violent incident at the event, Kimmel expressed regret for the trauma experienced by attendees. He defended his joke as a light roast and suggested that discussions about hateful rhetoric should start with the Trumps. ABC did not comment on the situation.
