🚨 NEW: Jimmy Kimmel just DEFENDED his Melania “expectant widow joke,” claiming it was about their age difference. He fails to apologize, then doubles down: KIMMEL: “It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination.” “And they know that… I’ve been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence, in particular. But I understand that the First Lady had a stressful experience over the weekend.” “And probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house. And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do. And I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it.” Kimmel was joking about the President dying and Melania being happy about it, which does not belong on taxpayer-funded airwaves.

Jimmy Kimmel suggests that his Melania widow joke is equivalent to Karoline Leavitt using the phrase "shots fired."

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 behavior at the expense of our community.
