In the wake of the vile “comedy” performance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, we’ve seen a future president of the association denounce the act and the current president refusing to say the act “crossed a line.” And while the current White House Correspondents’ Association president was refusing to say what so many journalists were, former WHCA President Ed Henry was on Fox News Channel’s Media Buzz on Sunday condemning the act and calling on the association to issue a formal apology. “Last night's White House Correspondents’ Dinner turned into a travesty when comedian Michelle Wolf turned in a crude...

This year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner featured some of the most disrespectful, nasty and just plain unfunny “jokes” in the event’s 104 year history, all courtesy so-called “comedian” Michelle Wolf. While Wolf admittedly aimed some jokes at Democrats and their liberal media allies, she reserved the nastiest ones for President Donald Trump and his top officials, including White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who by the way, attended the dinner. Wolf compared the press secretary to a character in the dystopian film “The Handmaid’s Tale” and referred to her as an “Uncle Tom” for Caucasian women. “I’m never really...

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....

On Saturday night, one Washington crowd tried to give President Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, while another Washington crowd stood up against some of the most offensive "jokes" a "comedian" has ever uttered. When Michelle Wolf spoke at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, her monologue descended into an x-rated tirade most infamous for attacks on White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Wolf's attacks on Sanders proved disgusting from about every angle, but only those familiar with the Hulu series "The Handmaid's Tale" — or the Margaret Atwood novel on which it is based — could understand the worst...

President of the White House Correspondents' Association Margaret Talev defends the decision to have Michelle Wolf as the comedian at the dinner, saying "she had a message to deliver and she did." Talev also said she hoped "those 15 minutes" do not "define four hours of what was a wonderful and unifying night." Wolf's set has been criticized by both CNN and FOX News. "I think she brought to the night what she thought was important to say, and her goal may not have been press unity and everyone rallying around to support journalism," Talev also said. Sarah Sanders Endures...
