Melania's Sharp Response

On X, Melania condemned the monologue, calling it "hateful and violent rhetoric" that "is intended to divide our country." She urged ABC to intervene, calling Kimmel "a coward" who "hides behind ABC" and saying the network must stop enabling his behavior.

Timing and Aftermath

The backlash came just days before the actual White House Correspondents' Dinner was disrupted when 31-year-old Cole Allen allegedly opened fire at a Secret Service checkpoint outside the Washington Hilton. The controversy over Kimmel's parody and Melania's demands remained a focal point amid the broader fallout.
