Summary
The White House Correspondents’ Association canceled comedian Amber Ruffin’s headlining appearance at its annual fundraising dinner.
The decision follows concerns over Ruffin’s anti-Trump comments and growing tensions with the Trump White House, which has restricted press access and pool assignments.
The association’s board voted unanimously for the change, seeking to avoid political division.
This shift mirrors its 2019 approach, when historian Ron Chernow spoke instead of a comedian amid similar Trump-era scrutiny.
Trump has no sense of humor. The only reason he ever smiles and laughs is when he knows he’s getting something over on somebody.
It’s not a shocker that he couldn’t even handle the mildest of criticisms from a comedian.
The lizard suit wasn’t even designed to do that, but he’s such a great man he made it happen anyway.
