Jimmy Kimmel is facing backlash after Donald and Melania Trump demanded ABC fire him over a joke delivered during an April 23 mock Correspondents’ Dinner sketch. Kimmel had described Melania as having “the glow of an expectant widow,” later clarifying it was a roast about the couple’s age difference. The controversy escalated after the real Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25 was disrupted by a shooting, intensifying scrutiny of political rhetoric. On April 27, Kimmel defended himself, stressing his opposition to gun violence and questioning selective outrage, pointing to similar remarks made by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
