Sarah Sanders On Wolf: ‘That Evening Says A Whole Lot More About Her Than It Does About Me’

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders finally spoke about the controversial performance of the comedian Michelle Wolf at the (WHCD) White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.

Michelle Wolf, which stood only 2 feet away from Sarah went after the WH press secretary’s physical appearance and her religious beliefs.

Many of the politicos and journalists from both sides who also attended the dinner, slammed Michelle Wolf about what they perceived as mean-spirited attacks.

There have been many reports by the journalists about Sarah’ behind-the-scene reaction that evening, but Sanders had yet to publicly speak on the matter.

That was until her appearance on ‘Fox & Friends’ this Thursday morning.

‘Look, I think that evening says a whole lot more about her than it does about me,’ started Sarah.

‘The people that were my friends before that evening are my friends today, and I’m going to continue doing the job that I came here to do every single day,’ Sarah continued. ‘I’m very proud of the fact that I work in this administration for this president, and we’re going to keep pushing forward and doing everything we can to make America better.’

‘I think we’ve had a great first year and a half at doing that. A huge success story that we’re proud of,’ Sarah added. ‘I hope that she can find some of the same happiness that we all have because I think she may need a little bit more of that in her life, because the rest of us here are doing great.’

Prior to Sarah’ ‘Fox & Friends’ appearance, the WH press secretary reportedly said she would pray for Michelle Wolf.

‘Sarah Sanders was smiling. She owned it. I asked her about the attack and she shrugged with a smile and just said the attacks didn’t bother her and that she’s praying for the comedian,’ wrote The DC’s Benny Johnson on Facebook.

Roseanne Barr Slams Wolf After Her WHCD Performance: ‘Comedy Has To Be Funny’

Many big-name comedians like Kathy Griffin showed support for Michelle Wolf after she received huge backlash for her performance at the WHCD, but one comedian appears to be very displeased and even suggested that Wolf was not even funny.

This was one of many tweets Roseanne Barr posted one day after Michelle Wolf’s performance. After posting this, Roseanne unloaded on the comedian and every other comedian that supports her.

She defined three rules of comedy: Never target someone more famous than you, comedy should come from love, and the comic shouldn’t portray the audience as an “a**hole”.

‘Third rule of comedy: the comic has to be the ‘a**hole’ not the audience!’ said Roseanne Bar on Twitter.

Comedian Roseanne Barr wasn’t the only person that criticized Wolf. Many others, including the media, agreed that Wolf went too far.

Barr’s comments, in particular, were about Wolf’s roast on White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Then she retweeted a post in Sarah Sanders’ defence, showing the Democrats hypocrisy:

‘They use women to attack and bully women’ said Barr.

‘It’s harder to spread love than it is to spread hate,’ she also added, ‘but it’s so much better 4 your soul.’

Roseanne Barr, one of our favorite Trump supporters, recently rebooted her hit television show “Roseanne,” which received very high ratings when it premiered.

Big Name Comedians Rush In Wolf’s Defense After She Faced Huge Backlash From The Media

After comedian Michelle Wolf faced huge backlash for her shameful monologue at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, many famous comedians such as Jimmy Kimmel and Kathy Griffin have shown their support and aligned behind her.

All this happened while almost every American considered Wolf’s jokes to be one-sided and criticized her for being incredibly cruel to White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.

Jimmy Kimmel posted a tweet saying that Wolf was funny and recommended that the association should hire a juggler for next years dinner.

‘Dear, “the media” – @michelleisawolf was FUNNY. Hire a juggler next year.’ said Kimmel on Twitter.

Kathy Griffin, who was at the dinner, made a series of tweets complementing Wolf’s set and saying that she ‘took no prisoners’ and went after everyone, ‘as it should be.’

Griffin also added that Wolf was hired to do a roast, so she did, and she did it ‘by pushing the line we force people to think differently.’

She went on to say that President Trump should be held to the same standard as Wolf and dismissed calls for the association and the comedian to apologize, labelling them “absurd.”

Griffin also claimed that the media is upset over Wolf’s performance because she ‘told the truth about them last night and the role they played in allowing Trump’s rise.’

Kumail Nanjiani also tweeted on the subject, but didn’t mention Wolf’s name, saying that the administration is being labelled ‘heroes’ for remaining in their seats when they’re called ‘out on what they do.’

Rosie O’Donnell, the comedian who hasn’t been shy about her feelings about our President, called Wolf’s performance a ‘brilliant job’ and explained that ‘truth-telling is required’ when a comedian is roasting someone.

Film and television creator and comedian Judd Apatow agreed with Rosie O’Donnell’s tweet saying that Wolf’s performance was ‘brilliant’ and argued that the WHCD is the time to ‘call out the madness, cruelty, and corruption.’

Late Night TV host Seth Meyers also praised Wolf — who, unlike many others in Washington, accomplished what she set out to do while staying true to herself.

Last Sunday night, White House Correspondents’ Association President Margaret Talev issued a statement saying that Wolf’s monologue was ‘not in the spirit of our mission.’

Aside from the comedians listed above, a large portion of Americans were disgusted by Wolf’s performance at the dinner. She just went too far.

Mike Huckabee Defends His Daughter And Praises New York Times Reporter Who Denounced The ‘Cruel Attack’ On Sarah

Early today former Governor Mike Huckabee defended his daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Twitter, after the vicious attacks on her by comedian Michelle Wolf at The White House Correspondents Dinner.

Mike also praised New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman and all other reporters for denouncing comedian Michelle Wolf’s jokes aimed at his daughter, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.

Mike defended Sarah this morning on twitter and shared his ‘sincere and heartfelt’ appreciation to Haberman.

He thanked the WH correspondent for having the ‘guts to publicly denounce the vicious, vile attack’ on Sarah at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Mike praised his daughter Sarah for handling it professionally and added, ‘I pray her kids never see that. I pray more they never bully another person like that.’

On Saturday night, New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman tweeted that it was ‘impressive’ that Sarah Sanders remained calm and didn’t walk out when she was attacked for both her appearance and job performance.

During the WH Correspondents’ Dinner, Michelle Wolf likened Sarah to Aunt Lydia from the show, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ played by the actress Ann Dowd.

‘I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. Like, she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye,’ Wolf said. ‘Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s lies.’

Mike Huckabee also criticized the WH Correspondents’ Dinner because instead of celebrating the 1st Amendment they celebrated ‘bullying, vulgarity, and hate.’

‘They got all dressed up so they would look nicer when they had a hired gun savagely attack their guests. Do they really wonder why America has no respect for them? Sad!’ He tweeted.

President Trump didn’t attend the celebration because of his campaign rally in Michigan.
