Jimmy Kimmel stopped being funny years ago with his tiring crusade against Trump — now he’s lost his decency, too

Eternal Trump antagonist Jimmy Kimmel has stepped in it — again.

During a roast of the White House Correspondent’s Dinner on Thursday, Kimmel said Melania Trump had a “glow like an expectant widow.”

Two days later, a would-be assassin tried to storm the White House Correspondents Dinner in a bid to kill the president and his administration.

Surely, Kimmel, a person who prides himself on his humanity, would admit regret over such a tasteless line — especially given all of the attempts on Trump’s life.

Instead, he used Monday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” monologue to repeat the “expectant widow” line, trying to explain it away as a crack at Trump’s age.

Sure, Jimmy. It was an age joke. About death. Aimed at a woman who has seen her husband shot during a rally in Butler, Penn., an attack that killed an innocent rally attendee.

Let us not kid ourselves. If anyone made this jab about a Dem’s wife, there would be swift movement to yank that person off air. Can them like ABC did Roseanne........
