Amber Ruffin on Getting Canceled by White House Correspondents’ Dinner: “This Would Have Been Bad”
Comedian Amber Ruffin says she’s “glad” she got canceled from hosting the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last Saturday.
“I had said that it would be impossible to make jokes about both sides,” Ruffin told The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night. “We are at a point now where one side is snatching people up off the street and putting them on a plane, and the other side is, you know, not doing that. So I just thought it would be impossible to make jokes about both sides.”
And on Wednesday, Ruffin, in the wake of her canceled Whcd appearance, also sounded an alarm about President Donald Trump as he marks 100 days in the White House during an appearance on ABC’s The View. “People are saying that Trump did a bad job 100 days in. I strongly disagree. This man has done everything he has set out to do.
