CBS's Gayle King Goes to Bat for Jimmy Kimmel Amid Melania Trump's Push to Get Him Fired
"Kimmel made the joke during a parody White House Correspondents' Association Dinner speech during his show on Thursday. Our First Lady Melania is here. Look at her, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow, said Kimmel during the skit."
"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 in a statement."
"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."
Gayle King defended Jimmy Kimmel after President Trump and Melania Trump called for his firing over a joke about the First Lady. Kimmel's joke was made before an assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, contrary to claims that it was made afterward. King emphasized that Kimmel does not wish harm to the president. Melania Trump criticized Kimmel's rhetoric as corrosive and harmful, urging ABC to take action against him for spreading hate and divisiveness in America.
