The annual White House Association Correspondents’ Dinner was held in Washington, DC last night. President Trump opted to skip the event for the second year in a row. Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and several other White House officials represented him in his place. While humor was expected from the speakers at the dinner, some viewers felt that comedian Michelle Wolf’s jokes targeting Huckabee Sanders went too far. Conservatives and liberals alike lambasted Wolf for her attempts at be being funny. Perhaps The strongest condemnation of all came from MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski.
Brzezinski, who is no fan of the administration, thought Wolf’s jokes making fun Huckabee Sanders appearance were mean spirited and “deplorable.” She called on the White House Correspondents' Association to issue an apology.
Watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable. I have experienced insults about my appearance from the president. All women have a duty to unite when these attacks happen and the WHCA owes Sarah an apology.— Mika Brzezinski (@morningmika) April 29, 2018
The WHCD should be about honoring the best in journalism. Enough with the comedians, enough with the late-night parties. These are serious times for both the free press and the public they serve.— Mika Brzezinski (@morningmika) April 29, 2018
Women who use their government positions to spread lies and misinformation deserve to face the same withering criticism as men. But leave our looks out of it. Watching from home, I hurt for Sarah, her husband and her children.— Mika Brzezinski (@morningmika) April 29, 2018
Brzezinski is referencing President Trump's last July that said she had shown up badly to his Mar-a-Lago estate one New Years Eve and was bleeding badly from the face.
...to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2017
American Conservative union president Matt Schlapp and his wife walked out of the event over these jokes.
My wife @mercedesschlapp and I walked out early from the wh correspondents dinner. Enough of elites mocking all of us— Matt Schlapp (@mschlapp) April 29, 2018
Of course critics could argue that for years on end conservatives have been saying that society is too concerned with political correctness. Therefore, they might say, people should not take offense to the comments. However, many would respond that there is a difference between being funny and being rude.
Wolf's jokes can be watched below.
‘Do not sit at the table with mockers.’ They all should have walked out AND they should have come to Sarah’s defense. It is Trump they hate - and we, the Deplorables. I know that was aimed at all of us.
You must have a very strong stomach.
I check by title, not by words
Africans verbally assaulting whites is always great comedy. Haha
That’s how it usually do it too. Oh well.
Wow
I just watched her whole act....per your suggestion
I did not see it that way whatsoever
Very mild digs at anything not about Trump and Co
Vicious and personal otherwise
Not funny to me at all
Has a conservative comedian ever treated our opposition this way
Look at the crowd
Loud chinny boorish fembot with bob haircuts all laughing and clapping looking about to make sure it’s ok with the comedic politburo they are immersed in
Middle Ages and older men with stupid hair gel with Martin Short 80s SNL dweeb hairstyles
Homosexual men galore.....fabulous
And that fat pig Rob Reiner
Get Sarah Sanders and Kelly out and please neutron bomb that snake pit of ego and excess
Yet another left wing bitch who thinks she’s Bil Hicks
Leftist are bitter nasty folks
We better never let them have absolute authority here
You can see how Pinochet or Franco happens
You’re right to fear these folks if they have the power
I heard what she said (as much as I could stand) and she is not that funny. I have warned these devil worshiping alinskyites that ridicule has to be funny to be effective and these lib/commie court jesters for are not funny. Offensive maybe. Half durnk maybe, but just not all that funny.
Incidentally, Michelle Wp;f lists Charles Manson as one of her comedic inspirations. The problem is that Charles Manson is funnier.
This womans parents must be so proud.
bttt Don Ricckles was funny. The same can’t be said about this neo commie tool.
Marking.
This unfunny lib/commie court jester sounds like Roesanne Barr with a toothache.
I havent CNN since the Gulf War.
The sad part is they probably are. Low class, no class.
Looks like Carrot Top. Carrot Top is prettier.
The White house Press Corpse should be booted out of our White House altogether. The should be given a tent in a parking lot and addressed rarely.
Which CNN show does she host?
They shouldn’t even get a tent.
Forget those lying pot stirring creeps.
Comedians are funny.
This skank is not a comedian.
She is a political hack masqurading as a comedian.
Lot of that going on these days
