Daniel Baldwin accuses Jimmy Kimmel of fueling ‘hatred’ toward Trump after White House dinner shooting

Published

Actor Daniel Baldwin criticized Jimmy Kimmel’s political rhetoric after the latest assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, accusing the late-night host of “planting this kind of hatred.”

In a clip from the May 3 episode of “The Daniel Baldwin Show,” first picked up by Breitbart on Monday, Baldwin said he was saddened by the reaction to the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner last month, where authorities say a gunman targeted Trump and members of his administration.

Baldwin used the attack to criticize anti-Trump attitudes in Hollywood and Kimmel’s repeated criticism of the president, arguing that even in an entertainment culture long hostile to Republicans, he has never seen public figures talk so casually about political violence.

“I remember being on movie sets with big name people, Oscar winner, high-paid talent,” Baldwin said. “And they would just be sh—– on some politician or person, like, ‘Yeah, someone should get him.’ ‘Someone should shoot him,’ once someone said in front of me. And I thought, ‘Wow, your voice carries weight. You know, your words have followers and people.’”

He then questioned whether Kimmel’s late-night commentary could fuel hatred toward Trump.

“Does Jimmy Kimmel not realize that when you keep bombarding in every one of your monologues and planting this kind of hatred in the American public or the people that follow you, someone might act on that?” Baldwin asked.

“Now, does that exonerate Kimmel of any wrongdoing? Yeah, he didn’t do it, but did he play a role in it? Does he care that he played a role? Is that the point? Does he do it because he wants that to happen? I don’t know the answer to those questions, but I’m sad, man,” he added.

Baldwin contrasted today’s climate with Hollywood’s response to the 1981 assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan, referencing a resurfaced clip of Johnny Carson addressing the delayed Academy Awards after Reagan was shot.

“We never hated anyone. We never wanted someone to die or laughed about them dying. It’s really disturbing to me,” Baldwin said.

Baldwin, the second-oldest of the four Baldwin brothers who became a conservative in 2016, said the hostility he now sees from some in the entertainment industry has changed how he feels about his own profession.

“I used to be proud to say I was an actor,” Baldwin said. “You walk into a room now and say, yeah, I’m an actor. I’m a movie actor and television actor… It’s not something I’m as proud to say or is it as big a deal because of the hatred that comes out from that side.”

Kimmel has faced criticism after joking days before the shooting that first lady Melania Trump had the glow of an “expectant widow” during a mock White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner skit.

The joke prompted the president and first lady to call for his firing. Kimmel later said the line was “a very light roast joke” about Trump’s age, not a call to violence.

“It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination,” Kimmel said.

Last year, Kimmel was briefly suspended by Disney after controversial remarks about the assassination of Charlie Kirk sparked outrage, and ABC said the show would be preempted indefinitely. He returned to the air days later and insisted he never intended to make light of Kirk’s death.

ABC did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Ohio daycare worker convicted of horrific physical abuse of toddlers sentenced to years in prison

Published

An Ohio daycare worker accused of terrorizing toddlers in her care — including repeatedly binding a 2-year-old with tape and leaving the child face down under a blanket — has been sentenced to years behind bars.

Katelyn Ann Strohacker, an employee at Over the Rainbow Children’s Center in Licking County, was convicted on 31 counts, including kidnapping and child endangerment, after entering a no-contest plea. She was sentenced to 8 to 12 years in prison, according to court records obtained by Fox News Digital.

The case began in August 2025 when a concerned parent raised alarms about the treatment of a toddler.

According to court documents, Strohacker used painter’s tape to bind the child and admitted to carrying out the abuse on multiple occasions. In one incident, the child was left restrained until a coworker intervened.

Investigators later reviewed surveillance footage and found the abuse was not isolated. Authorities say video showed Strohacker repeatedly abusing at least eight children over several weeks, including pushing, kicking and yanking toddlers.

In one incident, prosecutors say she purposely shut a child’s finger in a cabinet door.

“The defendant frequently shoved or yanked [the child], including one incident on July 11, 2025, where the defendant purposely shut the victim’s finger in a cabinet door,” as noted in court documents.

Officials say the impact on the children was severe. Several victims suffered night terrors, separation anxiety and behavioral issues.

Investigators noted Strohacker had worked at the daycare for more than three years and had received “all necessary training and continuing education.”

During Friday’s sentencing hearing, emotional parents spoke out about the lasting trauma.

One mother said she hopes Strohacker is “never allowed to be alone with children ever again,” according to WSYX.

“May God have mercy on your soul, but I can’t — because we pray he doesn’t,” the mother said.

Another parent described the toll on her young daughter.

“For our daughter, she’s been trapped in a cycle of sleep aggression and night terrors at two years old,” the parent said.

Strohacker, who was facing a possible 87 to 92.5 years behind bars, remained largely silent in court, responding only to the judge’s questions, according to KENS5.

Her attorney delivered a brief apology to the victims’ families on her behalf.

The Licking County Sheriff’s Office could not immediately be reached by Fox News Digital for comment.
