The White House press corps' annual gala returned Saturday night along with the roasting of Washington, the journalists who cover it and the man at the helm: President Joe Biden.
The White House Correspondents' Association dinner, sidelined by the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, featured Biden as the first president in six years to accept an invitation. Donald Trump shunned the event while in office.
“Just imagine if my predecessor came to this dinner this year,” Biden told an audience of 2,600, among them journalists, government officials and celebrities. “Now that would really have been a real coup.”
The president took the opportunity to test out his comedic chops, making light of the criticism he has faced in his 18 months in office while taking aim at his predecessor, the Republican Party and the members of the press.
“I'm really excited to be here tonight with the only group of Americans with a lower approval rating than I have,” Biden said to the Hilton ballroom filled with members of the media.
Biden also made light of the “Let's Go Brandon” slogan, which has become the right's stand-in for swearing at the president.
“Republicans seem to support one fella, some guy named Brandon,” Biden said, causing an uproar of laughter among the crowd. “He's having a really good year. I'm happy for him.”
As far as roasting the GOP, he said, “There's nothing I can say about the GOP that Kevin McCarthy hasn't already put on tape.”

Trumps response...
“I see you miss me!”
Feeling pretty brazen because he knows he has the backing of Bush League Republicans.
Lying dog-faced pony soldier.
We don’t need another real coup, Brandon. We’ve got you.
Oops. Call the Ministry of Truth!
Your administration probably didn’t send an invite Joey... putz
Lying dog-faced pony soldier.
Bet it wouldn’t even register to the scumbag.
Dont flatter yourself Joe ...
Nobody wants to eat with you ...
Dirtbag pedophile grifter thief meat-puppet pos.
I read bathroom instead of ballroom..almost made sense.
No doubt some of them are considering snuffing him out..
“Just imagine if ...”
This is the world in which Joe lives, moves, and has his being every day.
Nobody in that room has had to pay for a tank of gas in years.
Just imagine if Joe hadn’t had a teleprompter telling him what to say.
“Let’s Go BRANDON!”
BTW, what’s the commonly accepted incubation period for COVID-19 (A,B,C,D,E or...)
Unfortunately Vicky Nuland was in Brazil working to oust Jair Bolsonero and didn’t have time to help Trump retake his stolen Presidency before the dinner.
Donald Trump is living rent free in the mind of the current resident of the White House.
Gotta love it.
