Donald Trump can never let anything go. Not James Comey. Not Kathy Griffin. And not Saturday night’s White House Correspondents' dinner. “The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is DEAD as we know it,” he tweeted on Monday morning. “This was a total disaster and an embarrassment to our great Country and all that it stands for.”
Yeah, yeah. Plenty of people were upset by comedian Michelle Wolf’s controversial jokes and jabs at Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and the White House Correspondents’ Academy decided to side with critics, releasing an apologetic statement about Saturday night. "Last night's program was meant to offer a unifying message about our common commitment to a vigorous and free press while honoring civility, great reporting and scholarship winners, not to divide people," the statement read. "Unfortunately, the entertainer's monologue was not in the spirit of that mission."
Some people wondered why the organization hired Wolf in the first place if they weren’t going to back her up.
Others expressed similar sentiments to Trump.
