11 ‘Jokes’ From Liberal, Mean Girl Comedian at DC Journalists Dinner

At the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner Saturday, comedian Michelle Wolf took aim over and over again at conservatives, including singling out White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was seated one person away from Wolf’s podium.

Look: I’m not hugely familiar with past comedic performances at the dinner, but part of the point is that it should be a roast of those in power.

But as I sat listening to Wolf’s remarks, I kept thinking what a “mean girl” routine it was—and one that was rarely pointed toward the left, but frequently so to those on the right.
