As offended parties complained about comedian Michelle Wolf's routine at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April 2018, a photograph circulating online highlighted the contrast between that sentiment and some of the critics' earlier stands. The image, which has been spread nearly 7,000 times on Twitter, shows two tweets from former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (and father of White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was targeted by Wolf during her set) posted before and after the 28 April 2018 event: Huckabee, as well as other conservatives and mainstream media members, have falsely accused Wolf of denigrating Sanders' looks during her monologue at the event: At one point Wolf said: Wolf responded to the outcry on her own Twitter account, saying: Margaret Taley, president of the White House Correspondents Association, also backtracked regarding Wolf in a statement posted on 29 April saying that the comedian's monologue was not in the spirit of her group's mission. During the event, Taley introduced Wolf by saying, She's not of Washington. But if 2016 taught us anything, it's that we should be listening to more people outside of Washington. And if 2017 taught us anything, it's that hey, that means women.
