Kimmel Doubles Down On Melania ‘Expectant Widow’ Insult – story-veterans.com

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel apologized for his “roast” of First Lady Melania Trump, saying that people misunderstood his joke about her being “an expectant widow.” In his opening monologue of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday night, Kimmel refused to accept any responsibility or offer an actual apology.

“It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am,” Kimmel said. “It was not—by any stretch of the definition—a call to assassination.”
