When Salem Radio host Scott Jennings cannot enter Thunderdome and own the liberals on CNN, it’s Ben Ferguson who’s next on the depth chart, and he was left aghast by the latest take on Jimmy Kimmel’s anti-Trump antics. The late-night host joked about First Lady Melania Trump being an "expectant widow."
Jimmy Kimmel's mock Correspondents' Dinner sketch included a joke about Melania Trump looking like an "expected widow" before a third assassination attempt on President Trump.

The panel accepted Kimmel’s explanation, with the comedian claiming it was just a joke about age difference. Three assassination attempts on the president, and this was just a joke about age. Please. Ferguson wasn’t convinced. The lefty morons on this panel bought it, though:

He’s got the right to make it. ABC can do what they want as well.
But the worst part of this is watching pearl-clutching journalists act as if they wouldn’t be screaming bloody murder if Greg Gutfeld said that about Michelle Obama.
Regardless, given past and present events regarding those trying to kill this man, no way this was an age difference joke. And Kimmel knows that.
