Outrage at Kimmel's comments on Melania surges
-ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's recent jokes about first lady Melania Trump are apparently offending a lot of viewers.
An online petition launched recently, calling for a boycott of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and has exceeded its goal of 50,000 signatures. Organizers say the petition will eventually be sent to "the front door of Disney/ABC Studios" Burbank, Calif.
"We may not get him kicked off the air," the petition says. "But we can send a message that these attacks on our First Lady will NOT be tolerated!"
Specifically, offended viewers appear to take issue with Kimmel's jokes about the first lady's Slovenian accent. On Monday, he mocked Melania Trump's reading to children during a White House Easter celebration.
"Dees and dat," Kimmel joked, of her pronunciation of "this or that."
Kimmel's targeting of the first lady seems to contradict the network's recent assertions that it has captured the hearts of middle America since launching the rebooted "Roseanne" sitcom...

I signed it. I Can’t stand Kimmel or Stephen Colbert. I read earlier today that Kimmel’s ratings have dropped dramatically (2.3 million viewers). Hoping this ratings catastrophe happens to the other late night Trump haters.
