It's Melania Trump's birthday, but the White House is keeping a low profile due to the recent shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel's previous remarks about Melania have resurfaced, with the late-night host calling her an 'expectant widow.'
Kimmel's satirical monologue, which aired on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last week, drew backlash for its repeated jabs at President Trump and the first lady. The comedian joked about Melania's marriage to Trump and her role as first lady, sparking outrage from some of his followers.
The controversy comes just days after the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, where a Secret Service officer was struck and the suspect, Cole Tomas Allen, was taken into custody.
Many have defended Kimmel, pointing out that his monologue was a parody and not meant to be taken seriously. However, others have condemned his comments, calling them insensitive and hurtful.
