President and First Lady Demand ABC Fire Jimmy Kimmel Over ‘Widow’ Joke

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have called for ABC to fire comedian Jimmy Kimmel over a joke made at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Kimmel, who has a history of sparring with the president, referred to Melania Trump as an "expectant widow" during his monologue. President Trump described the joke as "shocking" and "far beyond the pale," demanding Kimmel be "immediately fired by Disney and ABC." The First Lady stated that Kimmel's monologue was not comedy but "corrosive" words that deepen "political sickness." She labeled Kimmel a "coward" who spreads hate and hides behind ABC for protection, urging the network to "take a stand."
