Comedian and “Late Night” writer Amber Ruffin lost her White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner hosting gig on Saturday, and come Monday morning, the hosts of “The View” were split pretty evenly on the decision.
The announcement came after WHCA president Eugene Daniels told members in a letter that the board voted unanimously to abandon a comedic headlining act altogether, to “ensure the focus is not on the politics of division.” However, some believe that the decision was made after Ruffin made it clear during an interview that she’d have serious words for those in attendance, whom she called “murderers.”
