Despite roasting the Democrats as well, comedian Michelle Wolf gets backlash for roast on Trump Admin

Here's the critical article from Washington Examiner as an example of such backlash. Carrying tweets from the likes of Ben Shapiro, Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer as well.

Guess you really have to worship Trump (contrary to Kanye West's points about being "okay to disagree with him") in order to be liked in anyway. Once again proving "snowflakery" is not just on one particular side of the political spectrum.

EDIT: And here's President Snowflake's OWN response... (Source: The Hill)

President Trump on Sunday joined in on the criticism of comedian Michelle Wolf's performance at this year's White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner, calling her "filthy" and slamming the event as an "embarrassment."

“The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was a failure last year, but this year was an embarrassment to everyone associated with it,” Trump tweeted.

“The filthy ‘comedian’ totally bombed (couldn’t even deliver her lines-much like the Seth Meyers weak performance). Put Dinner to rest, or start over!” he added, referencing Meyers' 2011 headlining performance in which he roasted Trump. That same event also featured former President Obama mocking Trump, who at the time was one of the leading figures in the "birther" movement. Some point to Obama's monologue that night as the moment that led Trump to run for president.

Trump did not attend Saturday night's gala. For the second consecutive year, he held a campaign rally outside the nation’s capital that coincided with the event.

In his absence, Wolf gave a 20-minute monologue that took aim at the president, Vice President Pence, Ivanka Trump, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the media and others.

Numerous journalists and conservative commentators expressed disapproval with Wolf's remarks, saying she had gone too far, particularly in her jokes aimed at Sanders.

Some reporters went as far as to suggest the dinner cease to exist in its current form.

WHCA president Margaret Talev said in a statement Sunday night that Wolf's monologue "was not in the spirit" of the organization's mission of promoting journalism and a free press.

Celebrities and a number of other journalists have defended Wolf, arguing that she did what she was hired to do in roasting the current administration. Others pointed out that the president has made vulgar remarks and pushed conspiracy theories without apologizing.

Hey, Donald! Remember how you said America needs to stop being politically correct? Well, you're doing that right now.

Conservatives are really the biggest snowflakes there are.

Conservatives- It's a joke, stop being pussies. We have freedom of speech

Also Conservatives- STOP MOCKING OUR PRESIDENT LIBTARDS

She was hilarious!

The Savage Wolf!

This reminds me of that episode of American Dad where Roger asks to get roasted for his birthday then gets homicidally angry at everyone for roasting him. Do Republicans not understand that's what this dinner is about?

From what I saw that seemed pretty tame.

To be fair, it is about a trillion times more edgy then Apu. These snowflake threads really are silly.

Never saw Apu so can't compare.

@nintendoboy16:

Funny how conservatives call liberals snowflakes when they do hypocritical shit like this!

Now president snowflake himself is crying about it.

Chill out Trump. It's just locker room talk. ;-)

2016 Trump Supporters: Wear t-shirts that say " *bleep* your feelings"

2018 Trump Supporters: "Please respect my feelings"

I can't help but feel that a lot of the outrage over Michelle Wolff's humor is prophetic. Throughout the years, Americans relationship with Washington has been one of respect. The heated arguments may not have changed much, but the underlying mechanism that makes an environment where humor and government can mix is cultivated in mutual respect.

That respect is gone, though. Washington's contempt for the citizen has been on full parade for the last two decades. It was inevitable that we citizens would simply catch up. It's about time Washington got a little taste of what it is to be uncomfortable for once. The void, sometimes, stares back.

I'm 8 minutes (19 minutes long) into Michelle's full bit........does, does she ever get to the funny stuff? She's not great at comedy.

Whether or not she is funny is beside the point though. The reaction, especially from right-wingers is hypocritical BS. Even Ana Navarro called them out on that. It's the same BS that they did with Stephen Colbert.

She napalmed the entire room, and I love her for it. Well done!

There was a lot of cringe. The Trump grab joke was good but that was about it. Her voice is so annoying.

I like her attack on the media.

Probably why they are going after her.

After seeing her quip about Democrats snapping defeat from the jaws of victory, her performance makes much more sense.

She's not a comedian. She's a prophet.

If you are not a comedian then it isn't a roast. It is just a hateful rant. Saying a rant isn't funny is more then fair, so is walking out. The democrats turning the outrage machine up to eleven is silly.

and the snowflake claims are just hypocritical. If you are so sensitive that benign comments about an unfunny comedian set you off then you need to check yourself. The left is spamming it everywhere. Talk about snowflakery.

Dude, you're a snowflake. Wolf is just telling it like it is. ;)

The media gave Trump what he wanted: Attention. And while the media is seen as "liberal," it isn't so, especially with television news.

Not defending trump. trump is an idiot. Wolf can rant about them all they want. The massive backlash to rather benign criticism of a comic who wasn't trying to be funny is a fine example of snowflakery.

If you have a problem with how trump acts, don't act like him. This nonsense is just showing how thin your skin is.

So Wolf insulting Trump is bad but Trump threatening nuclear war, insulting others, and going so far as to make incredibly, yet subtle racist posts, tweets, and statements is okay?

Yeah, I have a problem because his behavior is affecting this nation and the presidency, yet he is the president courtesy of a broken electoral system and a population of hypocrites such as yourself who continue to defend his statements or, subtly, attack others and ignore the actual problem.

And conservatives will always be the biggest hypocrites.

what the hell is that even supposed to mean?

Didn't say that, that sentiment is yours alone. I am saying the reaction to criticism of the event is incredibly snowflakey.

I'll have to take your word for it. Her voice was way too nails-on-chalkboard for me to listen.

Wow, saying that the way a woman's voice sounds matters more than what she says. I think this is the new textbook definition of sexism.

I'm just saying, maybe there is a reason she is a writer and not a performer.

lol! So criticizing someone's voice is discriminatory towards someone's sex?

Your asinine attempts at virtue singling doesn't hide your sexism. Stop being silly.

It is a perfect example of shooting the messenger instead of the message... and if the reason you can’t listen to it is because a woman is saying it... I think that fits under sexism.

Agreed, but I don't see anyone in this thread saying they didn't listen to it because she is a woman...

Savage carpet bombing. I loved the Sarah Huckabee bit.

Hard to be liberal or neutral when your opinions come from the higher ups that align themselves with corporations.

That's why mainstream media is now considered to be the legacy media.

That is verbatim what vladmirlenin said.

Everybody's having a cow over this (FOX News is having a whole herd). Somebody make jokes at a WHCD...why is this something to be outraged about?

Also, is everybody in the news comprehension challenged? Everybody is "shocked of how Wolf made fun of Sanders' appearance". I listened to the whole thing and that never happened.

Where? Quote it?

I guess this lady can find voice work in children's cartoons. She could be like a female Gilbert Gottfried.

More edgy? Yeah probably. But isn't it supposed to be a roast? Mean humour if I understand that correctly?

No, but still shooting the messenger instead of the message.

every year we go though this. a person hired to make jokes make jokes and we all flip out shit.

way to be predictable, folks

There is a scientific discussion to be had about the shaping of someone's gender identity

If the liberals were under attack like conservatives you would be crying mommy, mommy. You are so afraid of conservatives you won't let the speak, you are afraid they may say something that bursts your bubble. No Democrat is ever treated by the media or comic for what passes as comedy today. You can't debate policy you have to attack the character of a person because that is all you have to offer in the realm of ideas.
