First Lady Melania Trump is speaking out against Jimmy Kimmel after the comedian took another swipe at her family.
President Donald Trump’s wife, 56, shared a post to X on Monday, April 27, condemning the late-night host for his “Alternative White House Correspondents’ Dinner” monologue, which was delivered shortly before the actual correspondents’ dinner at which a man allegedly tried to open fire.
“Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country,” the former model wrote. “His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.”
“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate,” she continued. “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,” she declared, calling upon the network behind Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.”
In Kimmel’s monologue late last week, he took “a page from the Kid Rock alternative [Super Bowl] halftime show” to “do some of the jokes a comedian might do if our president wasn’t a trembling drama queen who’s scared of comedy.”

Kimmel, who has long been outspoken of his disdain for the 79-year-old president and his administration, ripped into the first family.
Taking aim at Melania, he said, “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”
“You know, Melania’s birthday is on Sunday,” he pointed out. “She’s planning to celebrate at home the same way she always does — looking out a window and whispering, ‘What have I done?’”
“As you’re all aware, Melania is a movie star now,” he said, referencing the first lady’s self-titled documentary film. “Her documentary had a score of 10 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a website named after her husband’s testicles.”
“And I want to congratulate you, Madam First Lady, on your huge accomplishment,” he concluded. “The world’s first motionless picture. Oh, and by the way, before we go any further… ‘Melania, this is Donald. Donald, this is Melania.’ That was my impression of Jeffrey Epstein.”
Melania, in a recent public address, denied having a friendship with the late sex offender. She said that her email communications with his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell “cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence.”
