Melania: 'Fire Jimmy Kimmel'

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.

Disney isn't commenting on the current Jimmy Kimmel controversy or Trump's call for Kimmel's firing, but actions speak louder than comments, and its actions show support for the comedian: Kimmel is taping tonight's episode right now, and it'll air at 11:35 p.m.

If Kimmel wanted to be really mean he'd point out that Melania violated her visa by doing ------ lesbian soft core.

"You know sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We've all been there, right?"

"Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow," is a brilliant joke.

Only second to, "Stephen Miller is so racist. The reason he went bald is because his hair was black. Stephen Miller puts the 'cist' in white supremacist. He's like if baby Hitler traveled in time to kill us."

Melanoma should start at home.

Following the death of Robert Mueller in March it was Trump who wrote on social media, "Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!"

When Rob Reiner and his wife were killed in December, Trump wrote that it was "reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME."

Guess he didn't put her on the payroll to give him advice.

I understand her sentiment, but saying that Kimmel can say any and all he wants, regardless as how tasteless and classless his comments. Maybe the attempted shooter has been influenced by Kimmel over the past year or two - no-one can say one way or another.

LOL a Trumper claiming someone else is tasteless or classless.

The lack of awareness is stunning.

Can't stand Kimmel, but his writers nailed it with "expectant widow."

JK should invite Der Dotard and his skank of a wife onto his show, where he can discuss the matter live, in front of millions. He would say about seven words before The Don would jump in and talk for the rest of the show. Melania would say nothing ...

The petulant child in the WH is going after ABC:

FCC orders early license renewal for ABC stations following Kimmel's first lady joke

The Federal Communications Commission has ordered The Walt Disney Company's ABC to seek early broadcast license renewals for the eight TV stations it owns.

The move follows criticism from first lady Melania Trump who objected to a joke about her made by late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel. President Trump followed up with a social media post calling for Kimmel to be fired.

"He was funny when hosting "The Man Show""

So, are you watching him these days, and that's your conclusion?

Or did someone else tell you he's not funny?

The entire genre seems to be dying. Injecting woke politics into so-called humor has only exacerbated it. Leno and Letterman were funny. It seems to have died with them.

That's the long route.

Answering "I don't watch; I'm just repeating what I've been told" is shorter, and more concise.

How do you keep dry carrying all that water?

It's all about freedom.

Kimmel can say what he wants
His employer can do what they want
Melania can say what she wants
The FCC? not sure what they do is about "freedom".
