Michelle Wolf’s pathetic performance at White House Correspondents’ Dinner

On Saturday evening, the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner was held in Washington, D.C.

Things went just as we had imagined them to as the keynote speaker, Michelle Wolf, made a mockery of herself, President Trump, and President Trump’s administration.

For the second year in a row, President Trump skipped the event; however, a few key members of the administration were in attendance. Sitting on stage was White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and among the audience was Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway.

I am beginning to understand why President Trump insists on skipping the WHCD each year. It’s nothing but a poorly sketched comedy show for the liberal elites that control the media narrative. In no way was last night’s performance by Michelle Wolf driven by talent or intellect. In fact, it only revealed how the industry of journalism has become crippled since Donald Trump took office.

From morbid jokes about abortion to judging Sarah Sanders’ work performance and looks, Wolf hit every low that was possible.

In targeting Vice President Mike Pence for his anti-abortion stance, Wolf distastefully said, “He thinks abortion is murder which, first of all, don’t knock it ‘til you try it — and when you do try it, really knock it. You know, you’ve got to get that baby out of there. And yeah, sure, you can groan all you want. I know a lot of you are very anti-abortion. You know, unless it’s the one you got for your secret mistress.”

Wolf’s comments on abortion outraged a great many Americans. Some even took to Twitter to express their disdain for Wolf’s poorly sketched and crude performance.

Guy Benson, the political editor at Townhall.com tweeted, “Some good lines. And I’m very willing to laugh at brutal jokes. I did. Some of the personal attacks on Sarah Sanders were unfunny & would never EVER be told about a Democrat in her position. Also, if you’re going to make abortion jokes, make them close to funny,” adding, “gross” with a thumbs-down emoji.

“My wife Mercedes Schlapp and I walked out early from the wh correspondents dinner. Enough of elites mocking all of us,” said Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union.

As Sarah Sanders sat feet away from her, Michelle Wolf said, “She burns facts & then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. ‘Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies.’ It’s probably lies.”

Wolf continued judging Sanders’ character in saying, “I’m never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders, you know?” Wolf went on. “Is it Sarah Sanders? Is it Sarah Huckabee Sander? Is it Cousin Huckabee? Is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders? Like, what is Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women? I know… Aunt Coulter.”

These “jokes” are not only puerile and vitriolic, but they place a barrier between journalists and the American people. Journalists from several different outlets were filled with dismay as they listened and viewed Wolf’s mean-spirited performance on stage.

I am a firm believer that there are journalists out there that report fairly on President Trump and his administration. When I say that, I am not talking about individuals like Brian Stetler, Joan Walsh, or Joy Reid. I am talking about journalists who know a certain bias when they see it and report on the issue fairly or call out hypocrisy.

After Wolf’s attacks on Sanders, journalists from several media outlets reached out to show how embarrassed they were of Wolf’s unfunny and disgusting jokes directed at Sanders.

Ruth Marcus of Washington Post said:

Maggie Haberman of the New York Times said:

Peter Baker, also of the New York Times, said:

Jeff Zeleny of CNN quoted Baker’s tweet saying:

Kelly O’Donnell of NBC News said:

These journalists are exactly right in calling Michelle Wolf out after her remarks about Sanders.

In times of biased news reporting and judgment of others, it’s pleasant to witness the journalists that usually dis Sanders stand up for her. Sanders is a strong woman and has to put up with a lot of criticism only because she represents Donald Trump when she is behind the briefing podium.

With the media, you never know what you are going to get. It’s a fast-paced environment, but for once, a good many of them got it right.

Until last night, I had no clue who Michelle Wolf was. But now I know. She is a failing comedian who uses personal insults to garner a laughing audience. A talking head who so despises her own well-being that she feels she must pander to the feet of leftist media and politicians. It’s a shame, but I am not surprised. As America evolves, more of the delusional beings that occupy space in this country come forward and are sadly given a platform.
