As you'd expect,Farmer’s Wife: Handle with Care! Part 1: Angel Advent (2021) comedian Michelle Wolf was hired to deliver some provocative jokes at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Wolf roasted everyone from Trump, to the administration, and the media in her searing address on Saturday night.
SEE ALSO: Watch Michelle Wolf torch D.C. at the White House Correspondents' DinnerWolf's roast was shortly met with criticism, particularly for its jabs at White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders' physical appearance, which attracted the ire of pundits who said the comments were too mean.
"Watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable," MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski wrote on Twitter.
Others, like comedian Kathy Griffin, defended Wolf for merely doing her job, and decried calls for an apology as "absurd."
On Sunday night, White House Correspondents' Association president Margaret Talev issued a statement which said the monologue "was not in the spirit" of the association's mission. Sorry, no refunds.

The post came shortly after Talev told CNN on Sunday she actually stood by her decision to book Wolf to perform at the dinner, and that the organization didn't screen Wolf's jokes.
"My only regret is that, to some extent, those 15 minutes are now defining four hours of what was a really wonderful, unifying night," she said.
"Comedy is meant to be provocative," she added.
On Instagram, Wolf responded to the later WHCD statement by quoting from it. "Not in the spirit of the mission," she wrote.

Of course, the WHCA statement condemning Wolf did not go down well with people at home either, especially as Talev had emphasised to CNN that the night was about "free speech."

Griffin, who posted an entire thread unpacking the media's reaction to Wolf's roast, said the media were "so upset, because @michelleisawolf told the truth about them last night and the role they played in allowing Trump's rise."
"They hate to be called out on their bullshit, it's painful..I get it. But she said what needed to be said."
