Onlookers skewer Melania for targeting late-night host: 'Have you seen your husband?'

First Lady Melania Trump erupted at comedian Jimmy Kimmel Monday for spreading what she called “hate” – and was promptly told by one prominent political commentator to “walk across the hall” and “start” her crusade against “hate” by speaking with her husband, President Donald Trump.

Last week, Kimmel jokingly referred to Mrs. Trump as an “expectant widow,” a clip of which resurfaced in the wake of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting on Saturday, the suspect of which reportedly penned a manifesto that named Trump as a target.

Mrs. Trump lashed out at Kimmel on Monday, decrying what she called his “hateful and violent rhetoric" that she argued was “intended to divide our country.” Within moments, a barrage of critics asked her to start her campaign against “hateful rhetoric” by speaking with her husband, who political commentator Joanne Carducci called one of the “single most divisive public figures in the history of the world.”

“If you want to improve the public discourse, you should walk across the hall into his bedroom and start with him,” she wrote in a social media post on X to her more than 1 million followers.

Progressive commentator and podcast host Kyle Kulinski echoed Carducci's call for Mrs. Trump to start with her husband with a particularly scathing rebuke.

“You and your war criminal p-------- r----- terrorist husband hate free speech and the constitution,” Kulinski wrote in a social media post on X to his more than 550,000 followers. “You're a total disgrace to what this country is supposed to be.”
