‘Widow’ Joke On Donald Trump's Wife Costs Jimmy Kimmel Heavy | Watch White House Response

Jimmy Kimmel’s controversial ‘expectant widow’ joke about Melania Trump has sparked massive backlash. Just two days after Kimmel made the remark on his show, a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — forcing President Trump and Melania to be evacuated.

Now, the White House is hitting back hard. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the joke ‘disgusting,’ while Melania Trump accused Kimmel of spreading ‘hateful and violent rhetoric’ and called on ABC to take a stand against him. President Trump also demanded that Kimmel be fired.

Watch the full White House response and the intense fallout from this ill-timed joke.
