Amber Ruffin admits her cancelled WHCA dinner speech could have harmed press corps' reputation
Fox News
Comedian Amber Ruffin said Wednesday during "The View" that the White House press corps might have "shrank" if she ended up hosting the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
She further told the ABC co-hosts, "I was like, ‘Oh, no, this is horrible. I was running my mouth, and I was being careless.’ And then, as the day went on, people were like, ‘Your free speech has been revoked. How dare they.’ I was like, ‘Oh, my God, that’s right. I do have free speech. I’m allowed free speech.’" Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
Ruffin was supposed to host the annual dinner, which took place on Saturday, before her appearance was canceled by the WHCA board as part of a "re-envisioning" of the tradition.
