Don­ald and Mela­nia Trump both called for ABC to fire Jim­my Kim­mel on Mon­day af­ter a joke last week in which the late-night com­ic de­scribed the first la­dy as hav­ing “the glow of an ex­pec­tant wid­ow.”

The re­mark about the pres­i­dent’s wife was part of a rou­tine on Thurs­day’s “Jim­my Kim­mel Live” where the host pre­tend­ed to de­liv­er a com­e­dy rou­tine at the White House Cor­re­spon­dents’ As­so­ci­a­tion din­ner. That event two nights lat­er was cut short when a man armed with guns and knives tried to en­ter the Wash­ing­ton ball­room where the Trumps and much of the na­tion’s po­lit­i­cal lead­er­ship had gath­ered.

“Peo­ple like Kim­mel shouldn’t have the op­por­tu­ni­ty to en­ter our homes each evening to spread hate,” Mela­nia Trump said in a so­cial me­dia post lat­er echoed by her hus­band.
