White House Correspondents’ Association Cancels Comedian’s Performance at Annual Dinner After She Made Anti-Trump Comments

The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) has decided to cancel the traditional performance by a comedian at this year’s annual fundraising dinner.

For decades, comedians have spoken at the dinner to roast politicians, journalists, administration officials, and anyone else in attendance.

However, on Friday, WHCA President Eugene Daniels emailed members to announce a unanimous board decision to cancel comedian Amber Ruffin’s performance, expressing a desire to refocus the event on journalism instead of political satire.
