Kimmel Doubles Down On Melania ‘Expectant Widow’ Insult

Kimmel admitted to being under scrutiny from President Donald Trump, this time because he made a joke about the first lady being a “widow” a few days before the U.S. Secret Service stopped a potential assassin outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night. “You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job?” Kimmel’s monologue began. “We’ve all been there, right?”

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.
