Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel defended his controversial joke about the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, stating it was not a call for assassination. The president and first lady had previously called for Kimmel's ouster and called for Disney and ABC to take a stand. Cole Tomas Allen, 31, was charged with attempting to assassinate the president and several firearm offenses. Despite the incident, Kimmel maintains his right to lampoon the first couple as protected speech.
