Three words summed up first lady Melania Trump’s feelings about ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.
“Enough is enough,” Trump wrote in a post on X about a monologue the late-night talk show host delivered prior to the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night.
“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’s post started.“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,” she concluded.
Kimmel referred to Trump as “an expectant widow” Thursday night in a parody previewing the event.
“Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” Kimmel said.
Kimmel also mocked the Trumps’ relationship.
“Oh, by the way, Melania, this is Donald. Donald, this is Melania,” Kimmel said.
Kimmel’s segment aired just days before the annual Correspondents’ Dinner when authorities said 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton armed with multiple weapons and opened fire on an officer.
