An unlikely ally warns the FCC is going too far in the Jimmy Kimmel fight

After Donald Trump and his allies targeted Kimmel, the FCC moved against ABC and Sen. Ted Cruz is warning that it crosses a line

Once again, the Federal Communications Commission, surely spurred on by President Donald Trump, is taking aim at a network over a joke.

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made a crack about first lady Melania Trump on his show last week. He said she had the glow of an “expectant widow.”

It was a silly joke, and honestly, not all that funny. But harmless, too, and not offensive unless you’re looking to be offended.

And, of course, the Trumps were looking to be offended.
