Trump's war on Kimmel

If you’re not fully caught up on recent events: Recently, Jimmy Kimmel staged a faux White House Correspondents’ Dinner roast on his show. He made a joke about the First Lady, Melania Trump having “a glow like an expectant widow.” For context: This happened several days before a shooting attempt at the real dinner.

The First Lady, outraged, called for his firing. Then Trump echoed her sentiments, telling ABC to get rid of him.

Then the FCC ordered an early license renewal for ABC stations.

As they say, in comedy, it’s all about the timing. But also in real life.

This is not the first time that FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has stepped in.
