Trump admin. officials will not attend White House correspondents' dinner, White House says.
is by far the best of the morning political shows on television. It rightfully has BY FAR the highest ratings, not even close. Morning Psycho , who helped get me elected in 2016 by having me on all the time, has nosedived, too Angry...I wonder if the New York Times will apologize to me a second time, as they did after the 2016 Election. But this one will have to be a far bigger & better apology.
The association's president, Olivier Knox, did not address the White House boycott in a statement Tuesday. "We’re looking forward to an enjoyable evening of celebrating the First Amendment and great journalists past, presen, and future," Knox said, repeating the statement he made when Trump announced he would not attend.
The dinner, which celebrates the First Amendment and raises scholarship money for budding journalists, is no stranger to controversy; last year, comedian Michelle Wolf drew criticism for ridiculing White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, as well as other administration officials, in her monologue.
Wolf, a former correspondent on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” compared Sanders to a ruthless figure in the dystopian show “The Handmaid’s Tale.” She added that Sanders “burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye,” referring to her make-up., defended Wolf's act, which also ribbed Democrats and the media, saying she spoke truth to power and spared no one.
