Melania Trump calls on ABC to take a stand against Jimmy Kimmel as she rails against late night host following a scathing monologue

Story by Ted Johnson • 4h •

................

The first lady posted on X, “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. 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.”

................

In his fake WHCA dinner monologue, Kimmel acted as if Donald Trump and the first lady were in the room. “Oh, by the way, before we go any further, Melania, this is Donald. Donald, this is Melania. That was my impression of Jeffrey Epstein.”

Another joke has drawn new attention, given the shooting at the dinner on Saturday, forcing the Secret Service to rush the first lady, her husband and other administration officials from the dais and other seats near the stage.


In his parody of the event on Thursday, Kimmel said, “Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

More to come.

Maybe you should check your morals in the Epstein files along with your rapist/pediphile insurrectionist POS benefactor husband who smuggled you into the country on a “genius” visa!

That is what entitlement looks like; watching courtiers attempt to meet those standards is what shame looks like.

So as far as applying pressure on Kimmel, frankly, Melania, we don't care.

Surely, if divisive rhetoric bothers her so much, she would be lecturing her husband, who says or posts vile comments about others at every opportunity.

Then again they don't seem to be around each other that often, and even when they are they don't speak to each other much so maybe she just hasn't had the chance to do so. 🙄

Yes, I said Melanie instead of the other name. Karen Leaveit can STFU too. Same with DJT and the rest of them. They started this shit and have been carrying on this way for the past 10 years! Vile individuals, every last one of them.

Then it would make sense. Every time he opens his mouth its hateful, right down to dividing the country.

She's really trying to get some exposure this time around, isn't she? Oh....what am I saying, she's already been completed exposed, hasn't she??? LOL

Seriously, though, addressing the UN? Who in their right mind would take someone like her seriously? She's a joke, she's a paid prostitute, and she's refused to learn the English language even though I'm sure the Trumps make fun of every other immigrant and the way they speak.
