She stated that such monologues go beyond comedy and contribute to deepening political divisions within the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKimmel\u2019s rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family is not comedy\u2014his words are corrosive and worsen the political climate in America,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The First Lady further argued that individuals in influential media positions should not be allowed to broadcast content that, in her view, promotes negativity and hostility. She questioned whether such voices should continue to have access to millions of households each evening.<\/p>\n<p>In her remarks, she also accused the network of shielding the comedian. \u201cA coward hides behind ABC, knowing the network will continue to protect him,\u201d she said, adding that the broadcaster must take responsibility for the content it airs.<\/p>\n<p>Calling for accountability, Melania Trump urged ABC\u2019s leadership to take a clear stand. \u201cEnough is enough. How many times will the network enable such behavior at the expense of our community?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>The statement comes amid ongoing debates in the United States over media responsibility, freedom of expression, and the role of late-night political satire in shaping public discourse. Neither Jimmy Kimmel nor ABC has issued an immediate response to the remarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melania Trump Criticizes Jimmy Kimmel, Urges ABC to Act Over Divisive Rhetoric. &nbsp;
