Donald Trump, Melania Trump, call for Jimmy Kimmel's firing

After hosting Tim Walz on his show last week, you'd think that Jimmy Kimmel couldn't sink lower than that. You'd be wrong about that. Today, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump called on ABC to fire Kimmel after Kimmel told a 'joke' that was so morbid that it'd make Tim Walz's skin crawl. The AP is reporting that "Donald and Melania Trump both called for ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel on Monday after a joke last week in which the late-night comic described the first lady as having 'the glow of an expectant widow.'"

Kimmel said that before Saturday night's White House Correspondents Association Dinner when an assassin attempted to assassinate President Trump and members of his Cabinet. It's bad enough for a sicko from California to attempt to assassinate President Trump. It's worse when a supposed comic hints that the First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS) looks like a widow.

The AP is reporting "Kimmel has long targeted the president in his comedy, and he doubled down after a run-in with the administration last fall. Kimmel was suspended by ABC and some of the network’s affiliates said they would take him off the air following a comment made about assassinated conservative leader Charlie Kirk, moves encouraged by Trump’s FCC chairman, Brendan Carr." FLOTUS Melania Trump took to Twitter to issue this statement:

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.

Perhaps the most powerful statement came from "The National Religious Broadcasters association." They "filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission, asking the agency to investigate ABC. 'We’re seeing a pattern of violence in this country that didn’t appear overnight,' said Troy Miller, NRB’s president and CEO. 'When influential voices joke about death or treat political opponents as disposable, it contributes to a culture where violence feels thinkable to the already unstable.'" Check out this report:

Kimmel should be fired for not doing his job. Earlier, I called him a 'supposed comic.' That's an insult to supposed comics.
