Wolf went scorched earth responding to the president\u2019s tweet, referring to his recent statement about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.<\/b>
\nThe White House Correspondents\u2019 Association announced this week that the organization\u2019s 2019 dinner would be eschewing tradition by not selecting a comedian as the featured speaker, but instead, will feature writer and historian Ron Chernow. The move comes in the wake of criticism over 2018\u2019s featured speaker, Michelle Wolf, whom many thought was too harsh, particularly when it came to her remarks about White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
President Donald Trump, who has not attended the Correspondents\u2019 Dinner since taking office, predictably had some \u201cexecutive time\u201d thoughts about the WHCA\u2019s decision. Trump has always had a precarious relationship with the event, ever since Seth Meyers relentlessly mocked him at the 2011 dinner.
\u201cSo-called comedian Michelle Wolf bombed so badly last year at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner that this year, for the first time in decades, they will have an author instead of a comedian,\u201d Trump tweeted on Tuesday evening. \u201cGood first step in comeback of a dying evening and tradition!\u201d
\u201cMaybe I will go?\u201d he added, undoubtedly in an effort to leave people on the edge of their seats.
Wolf later responded to the president\u2019s tweet, and she went scorched earth, referring to his statement on siding with Saudi Arabia over the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
\u201cI bet you\u2019d be on my side if I had killed a journalist,\u201d she tweeted, adding First Lady Melania Trump\u2019s anti-bullying hashtag, #BeBest.<\/p>\n
