Jimmy Kimmel has come under fire again for his recent comments about Melania Trump ahead of the assassination attempt at a White House event. While Melania Trump, US President Donald Trump, along with many other politicians, have publicly criticized him, Kimmel was not far behind in sharing the response through his show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Jimmy Kimmel comments About Donald Trump after the backlash
A few days ago, TV host and personality Jimmy Kimmel went viral after he commented that the First Lady was “glowing like a pregnant widow.”
A few days later, a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. While the Trump administration criticized Kimmel’s comments, along with many other politicians and netizens, Kimmel also shared his comments on the matter.In another of his recent episodes, Kimmel commented on the US President, saying: “Our first couple, Donald and Melania, who have recently seemed closer to each other than ever before – and I like to think that I played a role in that.”
He also played a video of Melania Trump and Donald Trump attending a public event and briefly holding hands. However, they slowly let go of each other’s hands, and Kimmel added: “Hands say a lot.”He added more to the clip, also adding, “You know what? Given the week I spent with the first couple, I’ll just say that this is a completely normal way of interacting between two people who are very much in love.”
Maybe that’s why his hands were bruised, because Melania hit them.”
8 TV channels will undergo licensing review
Following backlash over Kimmel’s comment about Melania Trump before the White House shooting, the FCC has ordered nearly 8 TV channels to undergo a licensing review, which was previously scheduled for October 2028. The TV provider that hosts “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” It is also included in the list.
Jimmy Kimmel’s show was canceled last year
This is not the first time the Trump administration has taken action against Kimmel. Last year, after his comment about Charlie Kirk’s death sparked a lot of backlash, his show was taken off the air for a few days. However, many people rallied against the move and criticized it, stating that it violates a person’s freedom of expression. A few days later, Kimmel’s show was back on the air and recorded millions of viewers across the country.
