1. There were two speeches last night:

   Michelle Wolf – “Sarah Huckabee Sanders tells lies”

   Trump- “Mexico is World War Z and I will shut the country down if Congress doesn’t pay for my wall”

   Press Coverage – MICHELLE WOLF IS A MONSTER

2. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, isn't she the one who aggressively and ineptly lies right in the face of the press and who regularly accuses Democrats of hating America? She got off easy last night, if you ask me.

3. Michelle Wolf made you uncomfortable.

   Good.

   Was it mean-spirited?

   Maybe.

   But look at Trump’s tweets & tell me why a comedian is held to a higher standard than the President?

   Also, those Trump supporters who are upset about all of this?

   Yeah. Let’s take a look #WHCD pic.twitter.com/RkMPZZkYQV

4. #MichelleWolf didn't "stoop to Trump's level" at the #WHCD.

   When she uses the power of the White House to craft legislation that cripples the poor and marginalized, and assails our environmental protections, civil rights, and Free Press—she'll be stooping to his level.

   Stop.

5. ACCEPTABLE: Making fun of disabled journalists, making fun of the appearance of female candidates, saying the Paralympics are hard to watch, Mexicans are rapists, one’s own daughter is sexually attractive, countries are shitholes

   UNACCEPTABLE: Sarah Huckabee Sanders wears makeup

6. this was, as usual, an orchestrated hissy fit that the "fuck your feelings" crowd does *every single time* and even they can't figure out how to explain what they are mad at. the funny thing is that they don't even have to bother because the journalist were already MAD https://t.co/KZJf2Jvf6V

   1. anyway here's what happened:

      1) a comedian was hired to do jokes.
      2) the right planned a hissy fit
      3) there was nothing to have a hissy fit about
      4) they are mad about ???? i still have no idea
      5) journalists are mad about ???? they still have no idea
      6) mission accomplished

8. hey, remember when our feckless, craven media treated Trump like a harmless joke during the campaign and gave him hours of free air time and never once called him out on his lies or challenged him on his racist and ignorant worldview?

   hey, let's all get mad at Michelle Wolf

9. Here's a handy guide

   Attacks on their looks:
   “bleeding badly from a facelift”
   “fat pig”
   "dog"
   "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?"
   –DJT

   NOT an attack on her looks:
   "Sarah Sanders burns facts and uses the ashes to create her perfect smokey eyes.”
   –Michelle Wolf

10. I've been reading comments on Michelle Wolf/Sarah Huckabee Sanders for hours… and my conclusion is that a whole lot of y'all are projecting your own thoughts about SHS onto your criticism of Wolf's jokes. She never made fun of SHS's appearance — so why is that on your mind?
