Amber Ruffin reflected in White House reporters’ supper, in a new episode Party.
The comedian was initially scheduled to perform at the annual event, but was fired weeks later after the White House Deputy Chief of Staff raised concerns about Rufin’s critical comments about Donald Trump. Host Stephen Colbert asked Ruffin what happened, and she replied: "You will never believe it."
"I said it was impossible to joke," Rufen explained to Colbert. "Because we are now at the point where we snatch people from the street and put them on the plane, and the other side doesn't do that. So, I just think it's impossible to joke on both sides, and it's a little dangerous."
She admitted that she was “very sad for two hours, but I had brunch and I felt great,” she added. “But I think if they don’t want me to do that show before I open my mouth, they’re really sad about what they get. They won’t like it.”
Colbert then invites her to tell her any jokes she didn’t tell at the event. "Absolutely not," she replied. "But I'm going to end it,' This government is trying to make you hate others, it's not your natural state." Humans are in love with each other, and so on, they are filled with hatred by persuading you, and you are definitely not what you do.
Elsewhere in the appearance, Rufen tells about challenging performances from the past and discusses her news-themed CNN comedy show Do I have news for youShe co-hosted with Roy Wood and Michael Ian Black.
Ruffin pulled out of the White Semblets Association in March after talking about Trump on his podcast, saying the administration had “a bunch of murderers.”
WHCA President Eugene Daniels announced the cancellation and wrote in a letter to members: "The WHCA Board of Directors unanimously decided that we no longer show the comedy performance of this year. In this result moment of journalism, I want to make sure that the focus is not on zoning politics, but is fully committed to the next generation of scholarships for our outstanding scholarships and the provision of scholarships and scholarships,''
