First Lady Melania Trump is calling on America’s ABC network to take action against late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel. The comedian parodied the White House Correspondents’ Dinner days before the event took place. Melania Trump took to X to slam the late-night TV host, writing: “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy – his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
“People like Kimmel shouldn’t 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. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behaviour at the expense of our community?”
