Trump Attends Dinner, Sparks Boycotts

0:00On April 24, Donald Trump is heading to the White House correspondence dinner for the first time since taking office as president, and it's already sparking boycotts from some big names. The hosts of the view announced on their April 24 episode that they're sitting this one out because of his attendance. Joy Behar brought up the last time Trump was there back in 2011 when Barack Obama roasted him hard in front of everyone. She pointed out the irony of a guy who blasts the press, showing up to an event celebrating journalists. Reporters like April Ryan called it inviting a fox into the henhouse, and while Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed for folks to go anyway to support the cause, and a Navarro drew a hard line. As a Latina immigrant, she refuses to normalize Trump's presence after all the hits he's taken at her community. Navarro laid it out clear, no dressing up for bad chicken and cheap wine, just a smile through his remarks. She compared Trump's speaking at a press honoring dinner to a cannibal, hosting a vegan event, and with others still planning to attend for the scholarships and funds, the night's tension is set to simmer.
