White House Response

Melania posted on X urging ABC to "take a stand," calling the remarks hateful and labeling Kimmel a coward who hides behind the network. The president posted on Truth Social calling the joke "shocking," saying Kimmel showed a fake video, and demanded Disney and ABC fire him after an attacker opened fire near the dinner weekend.

How It Started

Kimmel assembled an alternate roast for April 23 because, he said, there’s usually a comedian at the annual event and the president opted not to hold the usual dinner. He also referenced a past incident when his show was briefly pulled in September after comments about Charlie Kirk’s death, calling the coverage “like deja vu.”
