On Wednesday, CNN host Amber Ruffin appeared on ABC’s “The View” and claimed that she is a “terrified, black” woman that feels “less welcome” under President Donald Trump, after she was removed as the host of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Ruffin cried, “They were, like, look, you were running your mouth in these streets, and now you can’t host the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and I was like, oh, no, you know, this is horrible. I was running my mouth, and I was being careless. Then, as the day went on, people were like your free speech has been revoked. How dare they. Then I was like, oh, my God, that’s right, I do have free speech.”
When asked about President Trump’s first 100 days, she said, ““People are saying that Trump did a bad job a hundred days in. I strongly disagree. This man has done everything he has set out to do. I’m black. I’m terrified. I’m scared for my trans friends. And people who we know and love, our neighbors, are disappeared. And that was the goal and he did it. He did it. He did exactly what he wanted to do — because I, you know, feel less welcome in my home than I did, you know, last year. And that’s the goal. That was the goal. This feeling in us is the point.”
Oy ve. Terrified, but not too terrified to keep cashing in those CNN checks, eh? Must be tough to be famous on television.
