First Lady harshly condemned ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, labeling him a “coward” after he called her “an expectant widow” just two days prior to Saturday’s Correspondents’ Dinner.
“Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,” , 56, stated in a post on X.
“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
“A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him,” she wrote.
“Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community?”
