Melania Trump is making it abundantly clear that Jimmy Kimmel and, by proxy ABC, have stepped WAY over the line.

As our readers know, this isn’t the first time that Jimmy Kimmel has mocked Melania Trump, that time over her accent. Nor is it the first time that Kimmel has stepped so far over the line that affiliates dumped his show for a period of time. 

However, last Thursday, Kimmel took a gigantic leap over the civility line. For his show he did a mock WHCD monologue. 

The relevant portion relating to Melania Trump is as follows. 

Jimmy Kimmel: "Our First Lady is here. Mrs. Trump… you have a glow like an expectant widow!"

Read and watch that again. That isn’t comedy. That is corrosive and divisive. That is similar to that Wisconsin brewery proclaiming their disappointment that free beer won’t be poured because President Trump is still alive. That is along the lines of Hakeem Jeffries declaring “maximum warfare” on Republicans earlier last week. 

Just days before an apparent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, one of the Democratic Party’s leaders called for “maximum warfare” against Republicans.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., made the inflammatory remark while warning Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., against redrawing the state’s congressional map ahead of November’s midterm elections.

“We are in an era of maximum warfare. Everywhere, all the time,” Jeffries said Wednesday at a news conference.

Jeffries even had a giant poster board up on an easel stating the same during that press conference. But now he’s demanding we don’t lecture him for his divisive violent rhetoric. 

We will continue to lecture you and your movement until you stop killing and trying to kill conservatives.

Democrats and their pals in the media and entertainment industry are trying to bury the fact that the WHCD shooter parroted their SAME rhetoric word for word. Not only that, but he did the same across multiple social media platforms over the last few years. 

Jimmy Kimmel declaring Melania has the “glow of an expectant widow” isn’t comedy by any stretch of the imagination. And Melania Trump has had enough of his vile schtick. 

First lady Melania Trump savagely criticized ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel as a “coward” after he referred to her as “an expectant widow” two days before Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

“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,” Trump, 56, wrote in a post on X.

“A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him,” she wrote.

“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?”

ABC has an albatross named Jimmy Kimmel around its neck. His animosity towards the Trump family hasn’t been funny from the start. What his “comedy” has been doing is adding fuel to the anger that Democrats continue to build upon. 

Kimmel, nor anyone for that matter, could’ve foreseen what happened on Saturday night.

But again, his rhetoric and gleeful description of Melania having the “glow of an expectant widow” definitely added fuel to the fire. 

In the briefing room an hour or so after the attempted attack, Melania sent a very strong signal with her presence there. Don’t mess with me,  my family, or anyone around me.

Of course, the left is going to whine, some already are, about how firing Kimmel goes against freedom of speech.

The free speech crowd aren’t happy with Jimmy Kimmel. https://t.co/MXnz7OUK1D

The thing is, Kimmel is getting PAID to spew bile like this for applause and ratings. Whether ABC wants to face it or not, Kimmel’s schtick is harming the company’s brand. Melania Trump and many others, such as myself aren’t saying that he CAN’T vomit up that crap. What we are saying is his paid platform should be yanked out from under him.

Jimmy Kimmel is corrosive and ABC is cowardly for not holding him accountable. Melania Trump is well within her rights to call out Kimmel’s shamefully divisive rhetoric thinly disguised as comedy.

One final note: ABC has yet to respond to Melania, nor has the company reported on Kimmel’s remarks.
