Trump Slams Kimmel Over Melania Joke, Conservatives Demand Action

0:00On April 27th, former president Donald Trump lit up truth social slamming Jimmy Kimmel over a joke from his late night show. In a parody skit mocking the White House correspondent's dinner, Kimmel said Melania Trump had a glow like an expectant widow, implying something dark about her husband. The next day, things got real tense at the actual correspondent's dinner when a gunman tried busting into the ballroom. He was packing a shotgun, handgun, and a bunch of knives, reportedly aiming to take out Trump administration folks. Outrage exploded on the right, with conservatives blasting Kimmel for what they call hate speech that stirs up violence. They're flooding ABC and Disney with calls to fire him on the spot, saying late night host like him poisoned the airwaves nightly. Trump called the joke despicable and a stray call to violence, way out of bounds even for Kimmel. He thanked his supporters for pushing back hard against it. As this blows up, keep an eye out, networks might have to respond soon, and we'll see if it changes anything in late night TV.
