Melania Trump urges ABC to drop Kimmel after WHCD parody jab
TL;DR
First Lady Melania Trump called on ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel over a WHCD parody in which she was mocked with a line about a “glow like an expectant widow,” saying the remarks are hateful and dangerous especially after a gunman attacked the actual WHCD days later; Donald Trump joined in demanding Kimmel’s firing, while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned the joke, and ABC/Disney have not issued a public response.
