Michelle Wolf made the White House Correspondents (WHC) attendees extremely uncomfortable, plus non-attendee president Donald Trump retaliated!
It doesn’t take much for our president to react to any joke at his expense. His reaction to the comedian who hosted this year’s WHC, whose jokes were as controversial as he is, was an intriguing sight to see.
This is the second year the president skips the dinner, and goes to a district outside of D.C to rally supporters.
Trump’s Opinion:
While Washington, Michigan, was a big success, Washington, D.C., just didn’t work. Everyone is talking about the fact that the White House Correspondents Dinner was a very big, boring bust…the so-called comedian really “bombed.” @greggutfeld should host next year! @PeteHegseth

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is DEAD as we know it. This was a total disaster and an embarrassment to our great Country and all that it stands for. FAKE NEWS is alive and well and beautifully represented on Saturday night!

Michelle Wolf did not hold back at this year’s WCH. She made abortion jokes, masturbation jokes, and jokes at some of Trump’s administration. She even made references to important issues like the water in Flint, Michigan.
Michelle didn’t just stop at Trump administration. She went after democrats, republicans, journalists and took on all of Washington.
Most of the criticism though, has come from her comments on Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. What wolf said:
“We are graced with Sarah’s presence tonight. I have to say I’m a little star-struck. I love you as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale. Mike Pence, if you haven’t seen it, you would love it.
Every time Sarah steps up to the podium, I get excited, because I’m not really sure what we’re going to get — you know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies or divided into softball teams. “It’s shirts and skins, and this time don’t be such a little bitch, Jim Acosta!”
I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. She burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.
And I’m never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders, you know? Is it Sarah Sanders, is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is it Cousin Huckabee, is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders? Like, what’s Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women? Oh, I know. Aunt Coulter.”

Here are some of the criticisms:
That @PressSec sat and absorbed intense criticism of her physical appearance, her job performance, and so forth, instead of walking out, on national television, was impressive.

Lot of critics but she has always been decent and professional to me — if not entirely forthcoming (and I don’t expect any press secretary to be!) https://t.co/bM6Efz2Xmf

If the #WHCD dinner did anything tonight, it made the chasm between journalists and those who don’t trust us, even wider. And those of us based in the red states who work hard every day to prove our objectivity will have to deal with it.

Michelle Wolf fires back:
Why are you guys making this about Sarah’s looks? I said she burns facts and uses the ash to create a *perfect* smoky eye. I complimented her eye makeup and her ingenuity of materials. https://t.co/slII9TYdYx

Hey mags! All these jokes were about her despicable behavior. Sounds like you have some thoughts about her looks though? ? https://t.co/JRzzvhBuey

Some showed support:
The “fuck your feelings” crowd sure is angry tonight

The dirtiest thing Michelle Wolf did this weekend was describe Flint’s drinking water.
