The White House Correspondents’ Association is reversing course and canceling its plans to have comedian Amber Ruffin headline this year’s annual fundraising dinner in Washington, DC.

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.

    Absolute PUSSY.

    Whoever downvoted, you’re wrong but at least you deprived me of literally nothing in the name of the biggest pussy on the planet. There is not a chance in hell that this was handed down by the board, this was handed down by a man who can’t take a fucking joke even when he is (MAYBE) the most powerful man on the planet, that is the definition of a giant PUSSY.
