As Twitchy told you earlier, the White House Correspondents Association won’t be having a comedian headline next year’s Correspondents Dinner:

Earlier this year “comedian” Michelle Wolf’s monologue at the Correspondents Dinner caused the president of the WHCA to release a statement saying her material was inappropriate to the occasion. Wolf responded to the news this way:
The @whca are cowards. The media is complicit. And I couldn't be prouder. https://t.co/OOIFGuZ731

I have never met somebody as proud to publicly bomb as a comedian as this lady. I guess she's from the participation trophy generation. #outnumbered. #MAGA https://t.co/dbqHQAKqaI
