If you didn’t see Roy Wood Jr.’s remarks at the #WHCADinner, you missed out. Not a fan of the obvious hypocrisy of the event, but I think he did an excellent job. #RoyWoodJr

Here’s how The Hill sums up the #WHCADinner: https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/3980129-roy-wood-jr-defends-media-takes-on-king-of-scandals-trump-and-bidens-naps-at-correspondents-dinner/

Good summary here of the #WHCADinner from Paul Farhi: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023/04/30/biden-white-house-correspondents-dinner/

It would have been a 30-minute walk to the Time after-party so skipped that — but there was a convenient shuttle bus to the NBC event here at the OAS. #WHCADinner

If you are still on the bird app, congratulate @dougjballoon for me for his shout-out from Biden at the #WHCADinner

There was talk during the Trump Administration of ending it or boycotting it. That seems to have ended with Biden, who I hear has good writers and good jokes.

I’m glad they’re having fun but (call me very old school or something) I still think it’s distasteful for journalists to glam up and rub elbows with the powerful.

If I were part of #whca I would buy a plate or donate but no, you wouldn’t catch me at #WHCADinner. And if I were, I’d be trying to ask questions.

“Speaking of assholes, Don Lemon is out of a job,” adds Roy Wood, Jr. #WHCADinner

Daily Show comedian Roy Wood, Jr. tells President Biden at the #WHCADinner “we have to get Tucker (Carlson) back on the air because there’s millions of people who don’t know why they hate you.”

President Biden, in a humorous jab at Fox News, says it is now owned by Dominion Voting Systems and its reporters are at the #WHCADinner because "they couldn't say no to a free meal.”

President Biden killing! #WHCADinner

“Journalism is not a crime. Evan and Austin should be released immediately,” says President Biden at #WHCADinner.

The press is the pillar of a free society, not the enemy, President Biden tells #WHCADinner.

“We are stand-ins for the American people,” says WHCA President Tamara Keith at the event she calls America’s biggest annual celebration of the #FirstAmendment. #WHCADinner

Here at the Washington Hilton, ahead of his remarks to the #WHCADinner, President Biden and the First Lady, Jill Biden, “are participating in a pull-aside meeting with the family of Evan Gershkovich,” according to the White House.

We’re here. #WHCADinner
