Both President Donald Trump and his wife Melania are calling on ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel after the late-night comic joked last week that the First Lady had the glow of an expectant widow.
Kimmel made the joke while delivering a mock comic routine for the White House Correspondents Association dinner two nights before the event was cut short when a man tried to rush the ballroom where the Trumps and other leaders were.
The president said Kimmel's words were beyond the pale.
White House press secretary Caroline Levitt said it was part of a campaign of rhetoric from Democrats and some in the media that has helped to legitimize violence.
>> Who in their right minds says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband?
There was no indication that Kimmel was referring to violence.
He described the joke during his Monday night monologue as a light roast about the couple's age difference.
