Comedian Jimmy Kimmel has defended his controversial joke about Melania Trump, telling the first lady it is her husband, President Donald Trump, who is truly to blame for the spread of “hateful and violent rhetoric.”
Kimmel had joked before the the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting that Melania had a “glow like an expectant widow,” a remark that took on an unfortunate resonance following Saturday’s attack on the press gala, leading the Trumps to demand his firing by ABC.
