Don’t Be Mad at Wolf’s Sanders Jokes if You’ve Never Been Mad at Trump
National Review ^ | April 29, 2018 | KATHERINE TIMPF

Posted on 04/30/2018 5:30:46 AM PDT by reaganaut1

He has gone just as low, but she’s a comedian, not president, so she does deserve a bit more leeway when it comes to making jokes.

At Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner, comedian Michelle Wolf made some jokes about White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders that have a lot of people, particularly on the right, very upset.

...

Sanders was visibly upset the entire time, and many people on the right rushed to her defense — saying that Wolf’s jokes were inappropriate and an outrage. Here’s the thing, though: Many of those same people have absolutely no problem with it when President Trump makes fun of people, no matter how low the blow.

Yes. In case you’ve forgotten, Donald Trump also really likes to make fun of people. On the campaign trail, he referred to Marco Rubio as “Little Marco” and Jeb Bush as “low-energy Jeb.” During a debate, he readily agreed that he’d compare Rosie O’Donnell to a “fat pig,” “slob,” “dog,” and “disgusting animal.” He mocked Carly Fiorina, saying “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?” During his presidency, he made fun of Mika Brzezinski, saying he once saw her “bleeding badly from a face-lift.” The list goes on and on.

If you find yourself being outraged about Wolf’s jokes about Sanders, I’d suggest you ask yourself: Were you outraged about any of the above jokes as well? If not, why not?

The way it appears now is that when Trump makes fun of Mika’s face, the Right says “Chill, it’s just a joke!” and the Left says it’s an outrage. When Michelle Wolf says Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s eyeshadow is made of lies, the Left says “Chill, it’s just a joke!” and the Right says it’s an outrage.

Personally, I don’t recall hearing any of her joke. I was too busy stuffing cotton in my ears to shield myself from her fingernails-on-the-blackboard voice!

She may have accomplished one positive thing with her screeching screed: I’m now hearing that this “gag-me” fest may be permanently cancelled, and I’d have to believe that she had something to do with it.

Really? How do you know he meant that?

Michelle wolf and the various tonight show hosts couldn’t carry Jack Benny or Bob Hopes shoes. Those guys could throw a WHCD with funny clean jokes and make you laugh.

You are also confusing a bare knuckles campaign with comedy.

I don’t want my president a goody two shoes wimpy ass. These are tough times. The world is begging for an adult to lead us. YOu can see that.

White Press Corp dinner is done. Kapoot.

He didn’t need to make that off color comment about Megyn Kelly being on her period for instance

That's fake news. Are you still a never Trumper?

The female that performed at the press dinner is not a comedian. Comedians are funny and she was not. She is merely a vile talker.

No and neither is the guy who posted the article.
He has stated on FR that he wants somebody else in 2020.

Just want to add my voice to those who are smart enough to see the difference in the remarks that President Trump makes and the hateful, disgraceful gutter talk of last night and ,indeed, most of the time from the left.

That phrase “both sides do it” is totally false. When a common sense comparison is made you see that “both sides do it DIFFERENTLY.”

So that makes it okay to go after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders?

Yeah, the Rick Perry effect (at least according to DJT). I don’t think Perry is stupid, but the glasses do make him look a little more wonkish.

That’s an interesting pic you found. The tongue position is reminiscent of Jenna Jameson or one of her ilk. Talk about a vacant, nothing-behind-the-eyes stare. Maybe Kat is a robot, after all.

"That's fake news."

Here is Trump's exact quote concerning Megyn Kelly:

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, Blood coming out of her wherever."

Now are you two going to sit at your keyboards and deny he's not talking about her period? Please!!! As I stated before, I'm in favor of the majority of his tweets but some of them have gone over the line. If that makes me a never Trumper because I don't bow down to everything he says and does, so be it...

This is the type of crap thinking that oozes out of people that don’t realize we’re in a war.

Trump is standing up to the media and Establishment. As far as Trump’s comments about Carly Fiorina, they were not made in public.
