ABC host Jimmy Kimmel is refusing to apologize for his 'expectant widow' joke last week that has many upset in the aftermath of the attempted assassination of President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Kimmel made the joke during a parody of the dinner days before the attack. On Monday, both president Trump and First Lady Melania Trump called on ABC to fire the comedian.

Instead of apologizing for the joke, Kimmel repeated it on Monday night, and tried to claim that it was about the age gap between the President and the First Lady. Kimmel has had a long running feud with President Trump going back to his first term. He was briefly suspended last year for comments he made on his show in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination.
