Trump Makes Hypocritical Attack On “Filthy Comedian”

The Washington Post reports:



The 24-hour whirlwind of criticism or praise for Michelle Wolf’s controversial roast at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner ended late Sunday with President Trump calling the comedian “filthy” and the association’s president expressing regret that Wolf’s monologue did not live up to the “spirit” of the dinner’s mission, which is “not to divide people.”

They were reacting to Wolf’s 19-minute routine Saturday night which included what some perceived as vulgar comments about the appearance of women in the administration, particularly White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Wolf said Sanders “burns facts, and then she uses the ash to create a perfect smokey eye.” She also compared Sanders to the Aunt Lydia character in “The Handmaid’s Tale” — a character who indoctrinates the handmaids with sinister beliefs.
