“The Daily Show’s” Hasan Minhaj, who is hosting the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in DC, was asked by organizers not to make fun of President Donald Trump, who will not be in attendance, says a source who saw the comic at the Village Underground on Thursday.
“It was a polite request because Trump is so thin-skinned,” the source said.
Reuters’ Jeff Mason, who is president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, insists he never said Trump was “thin-skinned,” but added that he wanted a balanced event.

Mega Flop for these self-absorbed A-holes
No one cares what they do, they are ancient history now.
Basically making fun of the President without the President in attendance doesn’t present good optics.
I’ll believe it when I see it. A liberal press corp, various Hollywood idiots in attendance, and a liberal comedian being asked to be the MC, and we’re to believe that they won’t tell jokes about Trump????? Really????? Trump and the GOP won’t be their targets for the evening?????
[“It was a polite request because Trump is so thin-skinned,”]
TRANSLATION: Many in the MSM are terrified of the wrath of PRESIDENT TRUMP. The others mock at their own peril.
We double dog dare you.....
Balanced? LSM hacks that hang out at the White Tower?
What difference does it make, nobody will be watching
LOL! Why stop now?
And who are they going to roast if not him? Surely not one of their own!
The Bushes (and even Reagan) would just sit back and laugh along with them.
Trump will punch back.
I agree. But that’s never stopped them at any other time.
Obama's OFA is a black eye for the first half Black president who it turns out, is a Socialist and anti-American....regardless can pull in $400,000 for a speech.
White House Correspondents’ Dinner is turning into the Fyre Festival 2.0.
Now that’s an old Kids Challenge, Dare, that I haven’t heard in a long, long time.
You got it. They didn’t make plans and go through the trouble just to poke one another in the eyes.
I love that Trump isn’t going to this thing. He should give an important surprise press conference right in the middle of this dumb dinner.
Freegards
“A balanced event”??? What a pathological liar. Balance from these liars posing as journalists is an impossibility.
Pretty please don't....or he'll, he'll....do something. Like expose us as the democRAT operatives we actually are.
