The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately". He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting. Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

More of this!
