Jimmy Kimmel Defends Joke After Trump Calls for His Firing

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel defended comments he made during a broadcast last week that prompted President Donald Trump to call for him to be fired.

“Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you and as am I, as are all of us because under the First Amendment, we have as Americans, a right to free speech,” Kimmel said Monday night on his show.
