Megyn Kelly calls Trump’s demand to fire Jimmy Kimmel ‘inappropriate’

Kelly’s comments came during a conversation with The men’s show co-creator Adam Carolla, who weighed in on the joke.

“It’s a pretty typical roasting joke,” Carolla said. “You make a joke and nothing happens. For example, there was no shooting. Before the shooting, no one made anything about it.”

Kimmel responded during his monologue on Thursday.

“If incompetently presiding over not just one, but the lowest ratings in history is the reason I should be fired, we should both be out of a job because you’re not doing a great job either,” Kimmel said.

Her comments also come after Trump previously lashed out at her and other conservative figures he viewed as disloyal.

“It’s easy! Tucker is a low IQ person – always easy to beat and highly overrated!!! That includes Megyn Kelly, ‘Candace’ (really stupid and mentally ill!) and bankrupt Alex Jones, who is completely ‘fried,'” Trump wrote in response to a CNN segment about his ratings.
