In a statement on X, she said \u201cenough is enough,\u201d arguing ABC\u2019s leadership enables what she called Kimmel\u2019s \u201catrocious\u201d and divisive behavior and protecting him from consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The article recounts that a day before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ca-governor-breaks-his-own-covid-rules-to-eat-fancy-french-food\/\" title=\"Ca. Governor Breaks His Own COVID Rules To Eat Fancy French Food\">dinner<\/a>, chaos erupted at the Washington Hilton when Cole Allen allegedly ran through security and shot at a secret Service officer while heading toward the main room where Trump and other attendees were gathered. Authorities said Trump and other governance officials were targets, based on Allen\u2019s alleged manifesto.<\/p>\n<p>It describes how Kimmel\u2019s \u201calternative\u201d dinner skit mocked President Donald Trump and the first lady, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/newsom-under-fire-as-former-general-sues-for-antisemitism-and-harassment\/\" title=\"Former general sues Newsom for antisemitism and harassment\">including remarks<\/a> that portrayed Melania in provocative terms. Trump criticized Kimmel for aiming to \u201cdivide the country,\u201d and said his comments about her family were not comedy but harmful rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel had also faced earlier backlash, including ABC temporarily pulling him after comments about Charlie Kirk. Later, following widespread criticism and accusations of censorship around his suspension, Disney said it would bring *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* back after \u201cthoughtful conversations,\u201d and Kimmel returned with a tearful apology.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span

dinner\u2019s security checkpoint and shooting at a Secret Service officer as he headed toward the main room where Trump and other attendees gathered.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities have stated that Trump and administration officials were the targets, according to Allen\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4543635\/correspondents-dinner-shooter-manifesto-trump\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">alleged manifesto<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who was attending the dinner for the first time as first lady, slammed Kimmel for intending to \u201cdivide the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKimmel\u2019s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHis monologue about my family isn\u2019t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The skit shows Kimmel delivering the dinner\u2019s traditional roast by a comedian. In previous years,  comedians including <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3365283\/seth-meyers-defends-amber-ruffin-cut-white-house-correspondents-dinner\/\">Seth Meyers<\/a> and Conan O\u2019Brien provided entertainment by poking fun at the president, administration, and press. <\/p>\n<p>But the dinner took a different approach this year, opting for mentalist Oz Pearlman over a comedian for Trump\u2019s first appearance at the dinner as president. <\/p>\n<p>In the monologue, Kimmel joked about Trump being on the late sex offender <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jeffrey-epstein\/\">Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>\u2019s plane before pivoting to the first lady.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd of course, our first lady Melania is here,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cLook at her. So beautiful, Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first lady labeled Kimmel as a \u201ccoward\u201d hiding behind ABC, accusing the network of protecting him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople like Kimmel shouldn\u2019t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate,\u201d she said. \u201cA coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Kimmel has faced criticism over his remarks. Following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3812881\/jimmy-kimmel-pulled-charlie-kirk-comments\/\">ABC temporarily removed Kimmel<\/a> over his monologue about the conservative commentator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/charlie-kirk\/\">Charlie Kirk<\/a> as anything other than one of them,\u201d Kimmel said in his September monologue following the shooting.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4543614\/trump-correspondents-dinner-shooter-christians\/\"><strong>TRUMP SAYS CORRESPONDENTS\u2019 DINNER GUNMAN \u2018HATES CHRISTIANS,\u2019 MOTIVE WAS \u2018RELIGIOUS\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>ABC\u2019s parent company, Disney, announced it would bring back <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> after receiving mass criticisms and accusations of censorship over suspending a critic of the president from the airwaves from left-wing figures and outlets.<\/p>\n<p>Disney said in a statement it was <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3818996\/abc-bring-back-jimmy-kimmel-show-suspension\/\">bringing Kimmel back<\/a> after \u201cthoughtful conversations\u201d with the late-night host.
