'Expectant widow': Jimmy Kimmel's nasty roast draws Melania Trump's retort

The comedian is encountering significant criticism following the shooting incident at the gala dinner on Saturday, where a Secret Service agent sustained minor injuries after a gunman attempted to breach a checkpoint with the intent to assassinate President Trump and other members of his administration.

Kimmel ridiculed the dinner in advance during his show on Thursday night, delivering a speech in which he remarked: “Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

Days later, a gunman discharged his weapon at the annual event in Washington, D.C., and was taken into custody at the location. Attorney General Todd Blanche has stated that investigators suspect the shooter, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, was aiming at individuals associated with the Trump administration.
