Many reporters — even those typically associated with left-leaning media outlets — were left shocked and aghast at comedian Michelle Wolf's bizarre and mean-spirited White House Correspondents' Dinner monologue, after the feminist joked about abortion, CNN's Jake Tapper, and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders' weight and appearance as Sanders looked on from her seat at the head table.Wolf, looking straight at Sanders, said she was "excited" that Sanders "was finally able to go to prom," and then excoriated the press secretary for her makeup, choice of outfit, and weight. “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 said as Sanders looked on . . .. . . How very feminist, right?Although the joke appeared to earn Wolf the respect of figures like CNN's Brian Stelter, and progressive icon Joan Walsh — who compared the incident to Stephen Colbert's 2005 "roast" of then-President George W. Bush without understanding that to be a "roast" the subject has to be in on the joke — most WHCD attendees were turned off by Wolf's nastiness, even those reporters for whom Trump is a top target.When the WHCD Who's Who weighed in, they were in Sarah Huckabee Sanders' corner . . . . . . Many attendees were willing to admit that the White House Correspondents' Dinner should feature tough jokes that hit out at both sides of a typically contentious relationship between the White House and the press, but pointed out that the jokes about Huckabee Sanders' appearance would never have been tolerated had they been directed at a female member of any other administration . . .
Thanks to Trump, the Left shows their true colors for all to see.
It was a sight to behold how he played them.
