B-list comedian Michelle Wolf fired back at President Donald Trump on Tuesday night after he said he might attend the next White House Correspondents Dinner because historian Ron Chernow will be the headliner after she 'bombed so badly.'
Wolf's withering attacks on Trump and his two most senior female aides rankled the White House and drew so much outrage that the White House Correspondents' Association was forced to distance itself from her afterward.
'So-called comedian Michelle Wolf bombed so badly last year at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that this year, for the first time in decades, they will have an author instead of a comedian,' Trump tweeted Tuesday night. 'Good first step in comeback of a dying evening and tradition! Maybe I will go?'
Ninety minutes later Wolf tweeted a jab at the president: 'I bet you'd be on my side if I had killed a journalist. #BeBest.'
Comedian Michelle Wolf slammed President Donald Trump for saying her insult act at the 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner was so bad that the organizers were forced to invite a historian to headline their next event
The president said in a tweet that he might come to the 2019 event after skipping the first two of his presidency, saying, 'I bet you'd be on my side if I had killed a journalist'
The 'journalist' jab was a reference to Jamal Khashoggi, the occasional Washington Post columnist who was murdered inside the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, and whose death has been tied to a Saudi crown prince that Trump has refused to abandon

That barb was a reference to a lengthy afternoon statement in which Trump said he would do nothing to interrupt America's trading relationship with Saudi Arabia, even though evidence links the nation's crown prince with a plot to kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Khashoggi, an occasional Washington Post columnist, was killed last month after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
'[I]t could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event – maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!' the president wrote.
Trump said Tuesday that the Saudis' hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. military equipment purchases would go to China and Russia if he didn't stand his ground despite evidence of human rights violations.
He said Wednesday morning on Twitter that $54 per barrel oil prices, largely fueled by the Saudis' bending to Trump's wishes, are 'Like a big Tax Cut for America and the World.'
The president's tweet about the correspondents dinner 'doesn't necessarily mean' he will attend in April, a White House official said Wednesday morning.
Wolf mocked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders during her April 2018 act, saying she 'burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye'
Wolf roasted counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway by saying her last name was 'perfect' for her job
The White House Correspondents Association announced this week that Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Ron Chernow will speak at its annual dinner on April 27, 2019
Trump has skipped the first two of his presidency, holding competing rallies in Pennsylvania and Michigan on the same nights to overshadow the media attention they would otherwise have received.
But he shouldn't expect an apolitical lecture next year from Chernow, the author whose Alexander Hamilton biography was the inspiration for Lin Manuel-Miranda's hip-hop musical about America's first treasury secretary.
A week before the Republican National Convention in 2016, Chernow made a scolding, videotaped statement pleading for Americans not to elect Trump, and submitted it to a Facebook page created by filmmaker Ken Burns and author David McCullough.
'For the first time in my life I'm actually afraid that we Americans can forget who we are as a people, and succumb to historical amnesia. And make no mistake about it: When the past is scrubbed clean and American history becomes a blank slate, Donald Trump or any other demagogue can come along and write upon it whatever the hell he wants,' he warned.
'And that disturbs me most of all. Please, please, please folks, don't let it happen here.'
Chernow will likely deliver his criticism at a far lower temperature than Wolf, who likened White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders to a villain from 'The Handmaid's Tale' while she was seated a few yards away, stone-faced.
'I have to say I'm a little starstruck, I loved you as Aunt Lydia,' Wolf told Sanders during the April 28 event.
'I like Sarah,' she added minutes later, 'I think she's really resourceful. She burns facts and uses the ash to create a perfect smokey eye. Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's lies.'
Donald Trump was holding a political rally in Michigan when Wolf's jokes created Washington-wide the discomfort that resulted in a new approach this year
Wolf also jabbed Sanders as a disappointment to white women like her.
'I'm never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders,' she began. 'Is it Sarah Sanders? Is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Is it Cousin Huckabee? Is it Aunt Huckabee Sanders?'
'What's "Uncle Tom," but for white women who disappoint other white women?'
Wolf slammed the White House Correspondents Association on Monday for choosing Chernow instead of another comic in her own mold.
'The @whca are cowards. The media is complicit. And I couldn't be prouder,' she tweeted.
In her routine, Wolf also took a shot at presidential counselor Kelyanne Conway's name – emphasizing the 'con.'
'Man, she has the perfect name for what she does. Conway,' Wolf said. 'It's like if my last name was tells-jokes-frizzy-hair-small-t*ts.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
