\n First lady Melania Trump<\/a> on Monday implied that late-night host Jimmy Kimmel should lose his job over jokes he made during a mock White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner skit on his show last week.\n <\/p>\n

\n Kimmel\u2019s monologue \u2014 which he made Thursday on \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!,\u201d days before the alleged gunman attempted to enter the event<\/a> where President Donald Trump, Melania Trump and other top officials were evacuated \u2014 included a joke that the first lady had \u201ca glow like an expectant widow.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHis monologue about my family isn\u2019t comedy \u2014 his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,\u201d Melania Trump said in a statement on X.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cPeople like Kimmel shouldn\u2019t 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\u2019s leadership enable Kimmel\u2019s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community,\u201d she continued.\n <\/p>\n

\n Representatives for ABC and Kimmel did not immediately respond to CNN\u2019s requests for comment. Any response will involve ABC\u2019s parent company, Disney, and will be an early test for new CEO Josh D\u2019Amaro<\/a>, who succeeded Bob Iger last month.\n <\/p>\n

\n Kimmel, speaking during a mock version of the annual dinner two nights before the official event, delivered a series of jokes aimed at the president and his family. Typically, a comedian headlines the dinner, and Kimmel\u2019s skit involved him delivering remarks as though he were the comedian selected to roast the attendees.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cOur first lady is here. Mrs. Trump \u2026 you have a glow like an expectant widow,\u201d Kimmel said.\n <\/p>\n
