'reviled' journalistsGov. Ron DeSantis wants to make it clear: the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, DC, with its "cabal" of "reviled" journalists, is not his scene.
The Florida Republican sought to clarify on Monday that he did not attend the soiree in DC on Saturday night after he was the subject of multiple zingers from "Daily Show" host, Trevor Noah, who headlined the event. Noah described DeSantis as one of the "big names" at the dinner, but DeSantis told reporters that wasn't true.
"I would never attend that, I have no interest in that," he said, after a reporter asked for a response to Noah's comments. "I did not watch it. I don't care what they do."
DeSantis, considered a top contender for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, accused "them" of lying about him being at the dinner because his office rejected the invitation and "the idea that I would have ever gone is false."

Joe Biden, deeply well-experienced, possessing grace and humility, ability to laugh at jokes about himself without feeling personally insulted.

Same as Trump figured out.

(40,293 posts)There is never any poking fun at oneself with these types. When Biden greeted the press the other night by saying 'you're the only other group less popular than me,' Trump & the DeSantis type, would never say that.
It's a glaring character deficiency, IMO, taking oneself so seriously. One of a very long list these types have.

They would only invite him for comic relief.
The whole world thinks he's an asshole.

(2,493 posts)For the next 3 election cycles trump will probably be on the ticket. even when he loses next round, he'll still suck the oxygen out of the following 2 gop primary sessions.
You'd think the future gop candidates would know this and assist in getting him indicted.

Just like the folks at the Pox 'news' table.
BTW, Joe did a great job of shining the light of truth on them.
