Disney CEO's Response to Trump's Kimmel Demand

0:00On April 28, Disney's board chair, James Gorman, just put the ball in the new CEO's court over that heated clash between the White House and, late-night host, Jimmy Kimmel. President Trump demanded ABC and its parent company, Disney Fire Kimmel, after some pre-event remarks he made, and Gorman says it's up to Josh Demaro, and his team to sort it out, with board guidance. This all blew up around Saturday's White House correspondence dinner at the Washington Hilton, where it's shooting in the lobby for its top officials, including Trump and his wife Melania to rush out early. Trump and Melania both called out Kimmel directly, with the president saying on Monday he should get the boot from his show on ABC. Speaking at a business conference in Oslo on Tuesday, April 28, Gorman called these kinds of flare-ups normal for big companies and praised. Demaro, who took over as Disney CEO just last month, as world-class and ready to handle it right. No word yet on specific board advice for Jimmy Kimmel live, but everyone's watching
