Melania Trump has criticised late-night host Jimmy Kimmel over a joke in which he called her an "expectant widow" just days before a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner she attended with the president. The first lady called Kimmel's remarks "hateful and violent", urging his network, ABC, to take action against his "atrocious behavior".
President Trump also weighed in on the issue. In a post on Truth Social on Monday afternoon, Trump said he appreciated that so many were "incensed by Kimmel's" remarks, claiming they were a "call to violence". "This is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC," he wrote.
