Jimmy Kimmel Stoops To New Low With Sick Assault On Trump, Daughter Ivanka
Jimmy Kimmel took another ugly shot at President Donald Trump’s family Monday night, using a UFC announcer’s mistake to make a crude crack about Ivanka Trump and first lady Melania Trump.
The jab came during Kimmel’s nightly monologue after UFC announcer Jon Anik mistakenly referred to Melania as “First Lady Ivanka” during UFC Freedom 250.
The White House South Lawn event was held Sunday as part of Trump’s 80th birthday celebration.
Kimmel played the clip for his audience before pouncing on the mix-up.
Kimmel said as the clip cut: ‘The First Lady Ivanka? What?’
He quipped: ‘I guess somebody’s birthday wish came true.’
The joke appeared to reference Trump’s past comments about Ivanka’s looks, reviving a line of attack that late-night liberals have leaned on for years when going after the president and his family.
Trump told radio host Howard Stern in 2004 that it was OK for him to refer to the then-20 something as ‘a piece of a**.’
In 2006, during an appearance on The View, Trump said alongside his daughter, ‘I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.’

Ivanka, 44, was in the crowd at the UFC event, though she was not on camera when Anik made the mistake.
The Monday night crack was the latest low blow from Kimmel, who previously joked in April that Melania had ‘a glow like an expectant widow.’
That remark sparked fresh calls for ABC to pull Kimmel off the air, with critics accusing the late-night host of turning attacks on the Trump family into a regular feature of his show.
Melania saw the April sketch as ‘hateful and violent,’ she said in a statement.
Kimmel later maintained that the joke was aimed at the age gap in the Trumps’ marriage and what he described as the first lady’s icy demeanor.
The ABC host has continued to needle Trump in recent months, including over the president’s past connection to Jeffrey Epstein and the administration’s handling of related case files.
Over the weekend, Kimmel posted a sarcastic birthday message to Donald Trump on Instagram that parodied a card the president was reported to have sent Epstein 23 years ago, a claim Trump denies.
Kimmel has also repeatedly gone after the administration over CBS’ July cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” suggesting the Trump administration was behind it.

‘We’re not just dying of natural causes. We’re being poisoned,’ Kimmel said in an interview with Vulture published earlier this month.
The criticism has not stopped with Trump and his family.
Kimmel has also mocked conservatives including reality-star-turned-Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt and new Homeland Security head Markwayne Mullin.
The Daily Mail has approached the White House for comment.
Kimmel’s current contract is set to expire in May of next year, ABC has previously said.

For conservatives already fed up with late-night TV’s anti-Trump obsession, the latest Ivanka crack was another reminder that Kimmel’s political routine keeps getting nastier, not sharper.
