Melania Trump Breaks Silence On 'Coward' Jimmy Kimmel's 'Hateful And Violent' Parody Skit

First Lady Melania Trump has broken her silence about comedian Jimmy Kimmel's latest major faux pas. 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, the first lady wrote on X Monday morning. People like Kimmel should not have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate, she continued. 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, Melania concluded. Kimmel was slammed for claiming Melania looked like a widow just days before shots were fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Kimmel held a parody of the dinner, an annual event honoring journalism and funding scholarships, on Thursday when he called Melania an expectant widow. Kimmel said before turning his attention to the first lady birthday. You know, Melania's birthday is on Sunday. She's planning to celebrate at home the same way she always does, looking out and whispering, what have I done? The parody skit came just days before gunfire erupted at the event on Saturday evening in Washington, D.C., which saw President Trump in attendance in person for the first time while in office. Kimmel's quips during the event parody, however, received backlash online as Larry O'Connor, editor of the conservative outlet Townhall, described the comedian as a Disney, you have a problem, he posted on X. Another user wrote, enough is enough, you have been enabling this for years, and it has poisoned our society. It is time for you to do something about it. Kimmel isn't a broken man, he's just an evil scumbag, a third user said. One user added, I would have enjoyed watching Barron walk up to the podium and slap the stupid out of Jimmy Kimmel's mouth. That must be acceptable at these gatherings. After all, Will Smith got away with it. Political commentator Link Loren wrote, many in the mainstream media have stoked division and hatred for years. Jimmy Kimmel just made a disgusting joke about Melania Trump becoming a widow. After the White House correspondents' dinner and what transpired with President Trump, now they suddenly want to act shocked, he added.
