Dean Obeidallah: White House Correspondents Dinner in past years was where a US President was publicly mocked by a comedian and no one went to jail. The White House Correspondents Association this year surrendered by cancelling comedian Amber Ruffin to please Trump.

This part. #WHCD #journalism

"It is fundamentally bizarre for the White House Correspondents Association to be holding a celebratory dinner as the press pool and briefing room are being taken over and manipulated for partisan purposes."

I realized earlier tonight that @proleftpodcast.bsky.social forgot to host a #WHCD after-party. Also missed the WHCD. So I put some restaurant butter on the floor for Bosco and congratulated him on his “journalistic achievements”— good enough. @driftglass.bsky.social

Wow. Just caught the end of Joe Biden’s speech at last year’s White House Correspondents Dinner and it really underscored what we’ve lost as a nation. He sounded the alarms then about the free press & democracy. Too bad the press corps was asleep at the wheel for the next 6 months. #WHCD

What on earth is the point of the White House Correspondents Association, when you cannot even stand up with the AP? What is the point of having a WHC Dinner tomorrow night for someone who is trashing you and wants to eliminate the press? Why, you’ll usher in state-run media faster than Trump will. #WHCA #WHCD

Cowards.

White House Correspondence Dinner disinvites Amber Ruffin from its annual event April 26, 2025.

Because Trumpty-Dumpty objects - undoubtedly because she's lesbian.

Their cover? Decided not to have any comedy this time

How boring can you get? The satire has always been the best bit about the #WHCD.

Well, we'll all just be watching her on Have I Got News For You instead.

I know I sure will.

As such, Donald Trump has a large amount of animus and general hostility towards women and non-white people who he views as not being suitably compliant, validating, and deferent.

Ultimately, Donald Trump is a champion of white identity politics and the revanchist project to end multiracial democracy. Public opinion polls and other research have consistently shown that Trump’s MAGA followers and other Republican and “conservative” voters generally support that agenda.

In an example of the types of white racial paranoiac thinking that drive such beliefs in “white oppression” and “reverse racism”, Donald Trump recently told Time magazine that white people are the real victims of “racism” in American. No evidence exists to support such a claim. It is delusional.   

A compelling argument can be made that Donald Trump’s decision to run for president in 2016, was in part fueled by his anger at President Barack Obama who mocked him for his bigoted and racist Birther conspiracy theory at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

For years, Donald Trump has made misogynistic and hostile sexist attacks against Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and of course Stormy Daniels and E. Jean Carroll. A court of law concluded that Trump sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll. Social scientists and other experts have shown that hostile sexism and misogyny drive support for Donald Trump and the MAGA movement and the larger neofascist project.

Colin Jost’s full #WHCD set: kinda weak writing and delivery, should’ve used a teleprompter. #Colbert and #HasanMinhaj >> m.youtube.com/watch?v=9c6uQrPL

Colin Jost is hot. And that really was a great speech...I definitely teared up at the ending. Let's keep decency in the White House. #WHCD #NerdProm
