This year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner was a train wreck. The featured comedian Michelle Wolf of the Daily Show was vicious and mean to the point where even liberals think she went too far. It was so bad that Morning Joe’s Mika is sticking up for Sarah Sanders, who was targeted by Wolf during the event.
Mediaite reports:
Mika Brzezinski Defends Sarah Sanders: She Was ‘Humiliated on National Television for Her Looks’
MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski has gone after Sarah Huckabee Sanders more than once, but she agrees with the criticism that Michelle Wolf‘s jokes about her last night went too far.
Brzezinski brought up when President Trump went after her for her looks and called the jokes about the White House Press Secretary “deplorable”:
Watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable. I have experienced insults about my appearance from the president. All women have a duty to unite when these attacks happen and the WHCA owes Sarah an apology.

The WHCD should be about honoring the best in journalism. Enough with the comedians, enough with the late-night parties. These are serious times for both the free press and the public they serve.

Women who use their government positions to spread lies and misinformation deserve to face the same withering criticism as men. But leave our looks out of it. Watching from home, I hurt for Sarah, her husband and her children.

And …Michelle Wolfe Is talented. Comedians make us laugh/think/uncomfortable- but at WHCD we shld make fun of ourselves, &call it a night.

Maybe it’s time to end this tradition.
