Getty Images Jimmy Kimmel has another free-speech defender: Megyn Kelly, who sharply criticized Donald Trump’s demands for Disney and ABC to fire the late-night host over Kimmel’s roast of Melania Trump as having “the glow of an expectant widow.”
Kelly, on Thursday’s episode of her podcast, “The Megyn Kelly Show,” said she thought Kimmel’s joke “was out of line.” She also said that “ABC set the rules for how we engage in cancel culture. They have lots of examples. They’ve got many scalps on their wall.” For example, ABC in 2018 canceled Roseanne Barr’s sitcom series after Barr posted a comment on Twitter referring to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett as looking like the offspring of the “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes.”
