President and First Lady Call for ABC to Fire Jimmy Kimmel Over Widow Joke

President and First Lady Demand ABC Fire Jimmy Kimmel Over ‘Widow’ Joke

US President and First Lady have issued a statement demanding that American Broadcasting Company (ABC) fire late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel over a joke made at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The incident occurred on April 1, where Kimmel made a morbid joke about the First Lady.

The President and First Lady claim that the joke was unacceptable and have called for ABC to take action against Kimmel. Trump has also tweeted about the issue, stating that he wants Kimmel fired over the joke.

In response to the President’s demands, the president of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has stated that they will not allow ABC to “capitulate” to Trump’s demand for Jimmy Kimmel’s firing. The ACLU is a non-profit organization that advocates for free speech and civil liberties.

ABC has yet to comment on the situation, but it is unclear whether the network will comply with the President’s demands or stand by its late-night host.
