Kimmel then continued to criticize the first lady, doubling down on political rhetoric after President Trump’s warnings.

“Obviously, it was a joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on her face every time they’re together,” he said, adding that “they know that” was not a joke about “assassination” but Trump dying of old age.

Kimmel also added he understands the “stress” of being Trump’s first lady.

“But I understand that the first lady had a stressful experience over the weekend, and probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house,” he continued. “And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do, and I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it.

“Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you and as am I. Because under the First Amendment, we have, as Americans, a right to free speech,” he added.

Kimmel apologized to the media affected by the assassination attempt, saying he was “sorry” for everyone at the dinner.
