Michelle Wolf Shuts Down Meghan McCain's WHCD Criticism: 'I Don't Care'

The comedian pushed back on ‘The View’ host’s suggestion that her WHCD jokes were a “gift” to Trump.

It’s been more than three weeks since Michelle Wolf delivered her searing rebuke of the Trump administration to the faces of Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kellyanne Conway at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. And people still can’t stop being offended.

Wolf, whose new Netflix talk show The Break premieres this coming Sunday, stopped by The View on Wednesday morning and was forced, yet again, to defend what even many Trump critics viewed as unfair attacks on his female advisers.

To those who thought she was going after the White House press secretary’s looks when she compared her to Aunt Lydia from The Handmaid’s Tale and said she uses the ashes of burned facts to create her signature “smokey eye” look, Wolf said, “I thought you were smarter.”

Most of the hosts seated around the table, including Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin, praised Wolf’s speech as “hilarious” and “very funny,” but, perhaps unsurprisingly, it was Meghan McCain who condemned the jokes. Wolf wasn’t having it.

trump and his people by acting like they deserve some kind of respect.

You earn respect you don’t deserve it because of the position you hold.

Trump is the lowest life form on the earth and anyone who tries to support him is down there with him IMHO.
