Melania Trump has launched a scathing attack on US TV star Jimmy Kimmel on X, branding him "hateful" and a "coward." The First Lady slammed the television host and comedian following a joke in which he referred to Ms Trump as an “expectant widow.”
The gag aired during Thursday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! In advance of a shooting at a dinner where the US president was in attendance. Ms Trump posted on X: “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.”
She added: “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. (sic)”
