Trump Demands ABC Fire Kimmel Over Violent Jokes

0:00It's April 27. I'm Cory with the story. This is US News Today, driven by AI and built for America. President Donald Trump demanded ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel this Monday, saying the late-night host old jokes push people toward violence against him. Melania Trump jumped in earlier, telling ABC to stand up against Kimmel's divisive words that hurt the country. This beef goes way back, with Kimmel roasting Trump on his show for years, and Trump firing back on social media every chance he got. It all heated up after gunfire broke out at the White House correspondent's dinner last week at the Washington Hilton, where Trump and top officials were there, an armed guy shot a secret service agent at a checkpoint, but the agent's best saved him from worse and no one died. Trump's now tying Kimmel's barbs straight to that attack as proof rhetoric's getting dangerous, though ABC hasn't touched the host so far, leaving the whole mess hanging in the air.
