White House press on defensive after Michelle Wolf torches Trump, Sanders
The Hill ^ | 04/29/18 | Julia Manchester

The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) is taking heat the day after comedian Michelle Wolf took shots from the stage at presidential press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

A number of observers in attendance felt the former "Daily Show" comedian went over the line with her jokes, which drew heavy conservative fire on Sunday.

White House national security adviser John Bolton slammed the event in an interview with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday," saying he was happy not to attend.

"Just reprehensible behavior by someone addressing the gathering, and sadly it's par for the course in Washington today," Bolton said.

Fox News reporter Ed Henry called on WHCA to apologize to Sanders.

Other high-profile journalists also criticized the event, and the president of the group that organizes the dinner distanced herself from the material, though she did not offer an apology.

Someone with a modicum of decency should have tossed a glass of water in Wolf’s face.

A Daily Show “comedian”, how do you not see a disaster coming? It’s like inviting Jesse Ventura to an event and being taken aback that he’s talking about 9/11 being a staged event. It’s like expecting smart sophisticated conversation from Howard Stern and George Cloony.

Just scrap that correspondents’ dinner going forward; what the hell is the value added in keeping it? Most of those leftist hacks despise Trump and his family and savor every chance to show it. What’s the point in trying to make nice with enemies who despise your very being?

The WHCA should be disbanded. Our White House, regardless of the president in residence, should have nothing to do with them. The access and assignment of seating in the press room should be solely at the discretion of the White House. Period. These prema donna reporters can stand outside the White House fence to make their reports.

They knew exactly what was coming. It just didn’t occur to them what the reaction would be. They don’t think that far ahead. In their zeal to spew out their hatred, they don’t stop and think ahead. They hired her because she would fire the ammunition - they made the bullets.

Everyone connected to the WH should boycott the event, not just Trump and some others. That would delegitimize it.

The White House is defensive?

Because a potty mouth claims
“Trump loves Nazis”?

Wolf, she’s a bad joke and her entire life is a lie. When the press was building up Moosechelle as a glamour queen, I’m sure Wolf was out buying up all the magazines and just swooning over her. What moron decided she was a good guest to have? We’ll probably find out that this was a masterful troll by a soon-to-be-fired intern.

The propagandists (”journalists” they flatter themselves as being called——try to stop laughing so you can read my post) are such ridiculously narcissistic fools that only their dangerous incitements to violence against our leaders make us take notice of their buffoonery.

A severed head and Madonna’s dreams of violence against the inhabited Trump White House are two examples.

Remember, 121 is the combined IQ of the first two rows of any Democrat speaker’s audience.

the fact that they all sat there....

They could begin by sending her tons of flowers.

And when she walking into her next press conference they could rise up and say in one voice: We are sorry.

..then they must scrub the floors and latrines with their tongues.....

There hasn’t been such a large group of self-congratulatory buffoons since the Acadamy Awards.

In a way, the ostentatious presentation of left-wing nut fanaticism makes for a fine educational opportunity.

Yup.

The headline is the exact opposite of the truth.
