Melania: Kimmel, ABC Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Spread Hate in Our Homes Even though it spreads hate and incites violence on a nightly basis, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s hateful rhetoric attacking her family is supported and protected by ABC – and that needs to stop - First Lady Melanie Trump said Monday following Saturday’s assassination attempt at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner.
Thursday, in a foreboding “comedy” skit about the upcoming dinner, Kimmel joked about assassination of President Donald Trump: “Our First Lady Melania is here. Look at Mel, so beautiful. “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.” What is the Walt Disney Corporation going to do to address its role in the foment of the current climate of political violence?

His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.” Kimmel is a coward who knows he can make his destructive comments because know ABC will protect him, the First Lady wrote. “It is time for ABC to take a stand” and stop giving Kimmel a platform to attack her family, Mrs. Trump said: “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.” The First Lady went on to ask how many times ABC’s leadership will continue to enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of the nation.
