Michelle Wolf 'very happy' with WHCA performance, despite backlash
CNN Money ^ | May 1, 2018 | Brian Stelter

"I wouldn't change a single word that I said. I'm very happy with what I said, and I'm glad I stuck to my guns," Wolf told interviewer Terry Gross on Monday.

By now you've surely heard all about Wolf's Saturday night performance at the correspondents dinner in Washington, D.C.

All sorts of critics have weighed in. There's been a backlash and a backlash TO the backlash, with supporters defending Wolf's controversial jokes. Wolf's interview with Gross is her first in-depth response to all the hemming and hawing.

In the interview, airing on Tuesday's "Fresh Air" radio broadcast, Wolf said "I wasn't expecting this level" of controversy, "but I'm also not disappointed there's this level."

"I knew what I was doing going in," Wolf said. "I wanted to do something different. I didn't want to cater to the room."

The "room," meaning the thousands of journalists and other guests who attended Saturday's black-tie dinner.

"I wanted to cater to the outside audience, and not betray my brand of comedy," she said.

Her performance was shown live on CNN and several other channels. Afterward, she was criticized for her use of expletives and her personal jabs at press secretary Sarah Sanders and counselor to the president, Kellyanne Conway.

heard clips of her appearance.

The stupid jokes are one thing, but more than 30 seconds of her nasal, high-pitched, whining voice would make me want to put an ice-pick in my ears.

Nobody heard of her a few days ago.

Now, she’s in the headlines.

We’re even discussing her here.

Of course she’s happy.

Michelle wear her Crown of Scorn so very proudly!
She has taken it from last year’s ‘winner’ Kathy Griffin.

If you go on the theory that all publicity is good publicity then she should be ecstatic.

Good. Excellent. Keep up the all high-class work, and extend and improve it. Be sure it gets out to the most platforms and venues. This is urgently-needed information, and EVERYBODY ought to see it and any new, similar and better works that are even stronger.

Michelle, you are performing a Vital Public Service.

Keep talking... Keep talking...

I truly hope she’s getting anonymous death threats and goes into hiding, fearing for her life. That would be poetic justice for this vile beyotch.

From the transcript...

“Of course, Trump isn’t here, if you haven’t noticed.
He’s not here.

And I know, I know, I would drag him here myself, but it turns out the President of the United States is the one pussy you’re not allowed to grab.”
