Danica Patrick Makes Her Opinion On Jimmy Kimmel Extremely Clear

Danica Patrick has made her feelings on Jimmy Kimmel clear.

The ABC late-night host is under fire once again from those on the right, following his jokes about President Trump and his wife, Melania Trump. Kimmel did a parody version of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, days before the actual event was interrupted by a shooting. Kimmel joked about Melania Trump looking like an "expected widow" and took multiple shots at their relationship.

Both President Trump and Melania Trump are now calling for his firing.

"Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn't comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC's leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious," Melania Trump shared.

Danica Patrick, who voted for the first time in November of 2024, going with President Trump, sounded off on Kimmel earlier this week.

The former NASCAR and IndyCar driver, who made some late-night TV show appearances during her racing career, made it clear how she felt about the comedian.

Patrick takes clear shot at Kimmel

Patrick made it clear she's not a fan.

"Anger isn't working for your jokes bud," Patrick captioned her Instagram story.

Patrick also shared the following statement from another page:

"He was joking about the First Lady becoming a widow. This is disgusting, evil, and completely unhinged," the statement shared by Patrick read.

"These people [referring to those who oppose Trump's administration and its actions] spent years calling Trump a threat, a dictator, and Hitler - and now they're laughing about his wife losing her husband. Absolutely vile."
