It is not about appearance, aunt Lydia is a character that worked to enable to oppression of women. She’s like the anti christ for women in handsmaids tale.


The news has decided as a whole to claim that Wolf made jokes about Sanders physical appearance, the smokey eye joke definitely wasn't a dig at her appearance so I figured the Aunt Lydia reference must be the culprit.

I thought Wolf's bit, which is only 20 minutes long, was very deft and funny. Go watch it.

The abortion joke was disgusting. I'm pro legal abortion but the Left is going too far and are becoming horrible, horrible people.

"He (Pence) thinks abortion is murder. Which first of all don't know it till you try it. And when you do try it, really knock it. You gotta get that baby out of there."

WTF???

The trump administration has been nothing but disgusting from the moment trump started campaigning. His treatment towards women and minorities, his gross nicknames for opponents, his sexual abuse, mocking the disabled.... I find it difficult to find much sympathy. BUT, I do believe we should rise above that. "When they go low, we go high..."


I think at this point we all know "They go low, we go high" is just a saying, not a practice

WCD is supposed to be edgy and funny. Not mean. It was mean.

Wolf's routine was not really any different from any other WH correspondent's dinner routine. She was cruder, but the comedy was otherwise pretty consistent with what's gone before.

It was edgy, smart, and relevant. For those who offend easily it did. She probably should have cut the abortion joke.. But that’s it’s...everything else was pretty spot on.

I didn’t think Wolf was that funny, but she wasn’t out of bounds IMO. This event is a roast. A press sec especially should have thicker skin.

Terrible and so hypocritical. If someone had gone after a liberal female like that, all of Me Too would have collapsed in a giant collective vapor.

Have you seen the routine? Thoughts? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DDbx1uArVOM

She calls Sarah Huckabee Sanders aunt Lydia right to her face! SHS was def upset.

Fox News says terrible whereas others are more forgiving.
