Michelle Wolf’s speech exposed the hypocrisy of the press

Writer and comedian Michelle Wolf has hit the headlines for her routine at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday. Comedians were invited to take the piss out of the American political establishment and the press, and Wolf did not disappoint.

Her jokes ranged from Trump using pussy-grabbing to find loose change to Senator Mitch McConnell getting his neck circumcised. No one was let off the hook. Wolf joked that she could talk about Russia but, addressing the ‘liberal media’ in the room, said that ‘I’ve never really wanted to know what any of you look like when you orgasm’. She poked fun at Hillary for losing Michigan, as well as Ivanka Trump for being ‘about as helpful to women as an empty box of tampons’. It was rude, lewd and, in places, quite funny.

But it was Wolf’s segment on White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders that prompted many to claim she’d gone too far.
