A fierce political and media storm has erupted in the United States after First Lady Melania Trump publicly called on ABC to take action against late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel over a controversial joke targeting her, just as a separate shooting scare disrupted the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The explosive controversy has drawn global attention, with critics warning that America’s political divisions are becoming more dangerous and toxic.
Donald Trump joined the backlash, demanding Kimmel be removed from television, while supporters of the comedian say free speech and satire are under attack.
The uproar intensified after security concerns at the prestigious White House Correspondents’ Dinner raised fears about safety at one of Washington’s most high-profile gatherings.
