Hasan Minhaj delivered a brutal and biting monologue about President Trump at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, in an appearance that was as much a statement as it was a bit of satire.

“No one wanted to do this, so of course it landed in the hands of an immigrant,” Minhaj said.


An immigrant that was born in Davis, CA. Dumber than a sack of hammers. Anyway if you want to make a statement on the attack on the First Amendment go on down the road to Berkeley, CA.

” born in Davis, CA.”

His mother dropped him off in Davis and then went back to India. Eight years later she dropped off his sister in the U.S.

I think it’s so funny, how much angst was expressed by the liberals in the media, about how Trump wouldn’t be at their dinner. What the heck???

How the heck did this dinner evolve, into a situation in which the president, if Republican, is supposed to be there and be the butt of the joke???

If they want to have a self absorbed dinner, go for it. Why so much talk of how Trump decided not to attend???

Is this that POS whose father died in 9/11?

IF it is, he’s a total disgrace as a human being.

And isn’t he a Sikh?

I dont think he’s a muslim, though he’d probably like everyone to think he is.

I believe he mentioned at the beginning of his failed routine that he was a "Muslim Indian". I think I heard correctly, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

THIS is what passed for “humor” at the Fake News Ball and Whinerama last night. Truly pathetic.

HASAN MINHAJ’S TOP JOKES OF THE 2017 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ ASSOCIATION DINNER

Referring to the absent President Trump: ‘We’ve got to address th elephant that’s not in the room. The leader of our country is not here. And that’s because he lives in Moscow. It’s a very long flight. As for the other guy, I think he’s in Pennsylvania because he can’t take a joke.’

Talking directly to CNN reporters: ‘CNN is here baby, now, you guys have got some really weird methods. You aren’t fake news, but not everything is breaking news.’

‘I’m amazed Fox News even showed up. It’s hard to trust you guys when you back a guy like Bill O’Reilly for years. Then, you gave him a 25 million dollar package - making it the only package he won’t make a woman touch. In his defense, a close friend of his (referring to President Trump), once told him if you’re a celebrity you can do whatever you want.’

‘Nate Silver told me there would be a 74.1 per cent chance that this joke would kill. I believed you Nate, I believed you.’

‘Sean Spicer has somehow been doing PR since 1999, which is 18 years. Somehow, after 18 years, his go to move was denying the Holocaust.’

Referring to the way that the media has covered Trump’s Presidency so far: ‘We’re 100 days in, 1030 days to go. You guys are running the marathon, and I’m at the half-mile mark, giving you take for your nipples.’

Speaking about the Vice President, he said: ‘Mike Pence wanted to be here tonight, but his wife wouldn’t let him because apparently one of you ladies is ovulating, so good job ladies.’

‘Jeff Sessions couldn’t be here tonight, he was too busy doing a pre-Civil war reenactment. On his RSVP he just wrote just wrote no - which happens to be his second favorite N-word.’

‘I do not see Steve Bannon,’ he said repeatedly, slowing the words ‘not see’ down,. giving the effect of saying ‘Nazi- Steve Bannon.’

Speaking about the fact that he is a first generation Indian American Muslim, he referred to the President as: ‘The orange man behind the Muslim ban’

Minhaj comes from a Muslim family originally from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India. His parents immigrated to Davis, California where Minhaj was born and raised, but his mother spent the first eight years of his life away from him, in India, completing medical school,but she returned to the U.S. to give birth to his sister, Ayesha. He is married to Beena Minhaj, whom he met in college.

He’s playing the immigrant card pretty heavy even though he is not an immigrant.

Compare this to the slavish treatment the media gave Obama during these stupid dinners; can bet the “roughest” humor directed at him was a joke about his pet dog or his occasional smoking a cigarette. Thank God we have a President who told the “news” correspondents where to put their dinner.

As you might expect: “Minhaj comes from a Muslim family originally from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India”

An event that the president did not attend - it was obviously a forum for more Trump bashing, and only served to highlight the obvious bias of the press against Trump. Way to go, Hasan - whoever invited you did a great service for those still laboring under the delusion that the White House press can report fairly.

These “jokes” just prove the point, of how liberal and biased the media people are towards liberalism.

when did Sean Spicer ever deny the holocaust?? Is that really a subject for a joke in the first place??

Because Mike Pence won’t go somewhere where he could be alone with other women, this asshole makes a joke about ovulation??

“Not see” Steve Bannon???? Are we in eighth grade???? Sheesh......

Jeff Sessions has two favorite “N” words, the word “no” and the word which is so vile as to be unspeakable by whites?? Really??? Jeff Sessions is obviously a racist??? Really???

The talk of the “Muslim ban”?? When did the president ever attempt to “ban Muslims”?? The travel bans which the courts have held back say nothing about religion or Muslims.

Every single one of these “jokes” is something that only liberals would think is funny. And they are not based in fact. If these were based in fact somehow they might be amusing, no matter the political views of the joker or the one who was the butt of the jokes.
