In the flickering glow of late-night television, where comedy once offered relief from the day's divisions, a darker force now broadcasts into millions of American homes. Jimmy Kimmel, shielded by the corporate might of ABC and its parent Disney, has transformed his platform into a megaphone for unrelenting vitriol against President Donald Trump. After the third failed assassination attempt on the President, Kimmel didn't pause for reflection—he doubled down with a "joke" that struck at the heart of the First Family. This isn't humor. It's a symptom of a network that has lost its moral compass, enabling rhetoric that poisons the public square and flirts dangerously with incitement.

The latest outrage came just days before the White House Correspondents' Dinner. In a mock roast, Kimmel gazed at Melania Trump and declared she had "the glow of an expectant widow." Hours later, chaos erupted at the event: shots fired, the President and First Lady evacuated under Secret Service protection amid what authorities charged as the third assassination attempt on Trump in recent years. Melania Trump responded with justified fury on social media: "People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate." Her husband echoed the call on Truth Social, labeling the remark a "despicable call to violence" far "beyond the pale" and demanding that Disney and ABC fire Kimmel immediately.

This wasn't an isolated slip. Kimmel has a pattern. Following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, he was temporarily pulled from the air after blasting "the MAGA gang" for supposedly politicizing the murder and defending the shooter in ways that drew widespread conservative outrage. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt connected the dots: such rhetoric from high-profile media voices helps "legitimize this violence." Who jokes about a wife "glowing" at the prospect tied to her husband's potential murder? Even if Kimmel insists it was merely a jab at their age difference, the timing—mere days before another gunman targeted Trump—reeks of grotesque insensitivity at best, and cultural fuel for the unstable at worst.

The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) has seen the pattern clearly. President and CEO Troy Miller warned: "We're seeing a pattern of violence in this country that didn't appear overnight. When influential voices joke about death or treat political opponents as disposable, it contributes to a culture where violence feels thinkable to the already unstable." The group has filed complaints urging investigation into ABC.

ABC's defense rings hollow: "freedom of speech." No one disputes Kimmel's right to criticize or even mock. But networks exercise editorial judgment every day—what they platform, amplify, and reward with prime-time slots. By keeping Kimmel on air despite repeated crossings into dehumanizing territory, ABC sends a crystal-clear message: Trump's life, his family, and his supporters are fair game for edgy "humor" that laughs at tragedy.

They hear the backlash. Yet they keep broadcasting the hate.Enough is enough.Americans are watching—and many are done listening. Boycotting ABC isn't censorship; it's consumers refusing to subsidize a sideshow that normalizes division and mocks the gravity of assassination attempts against a sitting president. When late-night "comedy" treats political violence as punchline material and a network enables it, the public has every right—and duty—to vote with their remotes, their dollars, and their voices.

ABC, we hear your message loud and clear. The question is whether loyal viewers will continue to welcome this toxicity into their living rooms. For growing numbers of Americans, the answer is a resounding no. It's time for accountability, not more excuses. Fire the enablers of hate, or watch your audience walk away.

Once again we are being presented with the choice of good or evil and life over death. ABC through its use of freedom speech is leaning towards the choice of inspiring death / murder.
