Kimmel Said It. A Lunatic Tried It. Now Disney Has to Answer for It.

Jimmy Kimmel cracked a joke about Melania Trump having “the glow of an expectant widow.” Twenty-four hours later, a lunatic walked into the White House Correspondents Dinner ballroom carrying a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives. The President himself called it a “despicable call to violence” — and demanded Disney and ABC fire Kimmel immediately.

Was this a coincidence — or the predictable end point of a decade of “fascist” rhetoric?
