While Kimmel\u2019s comments were called out by the Trump administration, along with many other politicians and netizens, Kimmel also shared his comments on the matter.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>In another one of his latest episodes, Kimmel commented about the US President and stated, \u201cOur first couple, Donald and Melania, who lately have seemed closer than ever \u2015 and I like to think I played a part in that.\u201d <!-- -->He also played a video of Melania Trump and Donald Trump attending a public event and briefly holding hands. However, slowly they let go of each other\u2019s hands, to which Kimmel added, \u201cThe hands say so much.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>He added more to the segment, further adding that \u201cYou know what? Considering the week I\u2019ve had with the first couple, I\u2019m just gonna say that is a completely normal way to interact for two people who are very much in love. Maybe that\u2019s why his hands are all bruised &#8211; from Melania swatting them away.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>8 TV channels to be subjected to licence review<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Following backlash for Kimmel\u2019s comment about Melania Trump ahead of the White House shooting, the FCC has ordered approximately 8 TV channels to go under a license review, which was earlier scheduled for October 2028.

Last year, after his comment about Charlie Kirk\u2019s passing garnered a lot of backlash, his show was taken off the air for a few days. However, many people rallied against and criticized the move, citing that it was infringing upon a person\u2019s freedom to speech. After a few days, Kimmel\u2019s show returned on air and even recorded millions of viewers across the country.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/web-series\/news\/english\/jimmy-kimmel-comments-on-donald-trump-following-backlash-over-widow-glow-comment-the-hands-say-so-much\/articleshow\/130628382.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimmy Kimmel has once again come under fire for his recent comments about Melania Trump ahead of the assassination attempt at a White House event.
