WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is again railing against the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner amid criticism of the comedian who roasted his spokeswoman.
Trump says on Twitter Monday: « 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! »
For the second year in a row, Trump skipped the dinner, instead holding a rally in Michigan.
The annual event made headlines after a routine by comedian Michelle Wolf. Some of her jokes about Sarah Huckabee Sanders in particular drew heavy criticism.
WHCA President Margaret Talev says she’ll work with the next president on « the format of the dinner going forward. »
