In his absence, Wolf gave a 20-minute monologue that took aim at the president, Vice President Pence, MORE, 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.
