President Trump Calls on Disney-ABC to Fire Jimmy Kimmel
President Donald Trump called on the ABC television network, or its owner Disney, to fire late night host Jimmy Kimmel over a Trump assassination insult aired last Thursday where Kimmel called First Lady Melania Trump an "expectant widow." In his fake White House correspondents speech @JimmyKimmelLive actually joked about Trump’s assassination — just before a real assassin showed up at the real dinner. The post President Trump Calls on Disney-ABC to Fire Jimmy Kimmel appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
