Michelle Wolf scorches Trump over Saudi Arabia's murder of a journalist

Hot damn.

A day after roasting the White House Correspondents Association for not booking a comedian this year, Michelle Wolf turned her sights on Trump after he -- what else? -- sent a tweet mocking Wolf.

Trump said Wolf had "bombed" at the 2018 WHCA correspondents dinner, but Wolf quickly turned the tables on him on Wednesday.

Wolf is referring here to Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was brutally murdered inside the Saudi embassy in Turkey in October. A few days ago, the CIA announced that it believed Khashoggi's death was ordered by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Since then, Trump has bent over backwards to praise Saudi Arabia and do everything he can to protect the regime that assassinated a journalist who was critical of them. On Tuesday, Trump even released a bizarre, rambling statement that said, among other things:

Our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event -- maybe he did and maybe he didn't!

The Wolf/Trump spat originated over WHCA's decision to forego a comedian in favor of historian Ron Chernow for their 2019 dinner -- after years of having a funny person roast the current occupant of the White House. Wolf's infamous routine, in which she scorched the entire administration including Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, garnered a mixed reaction and a lot of pearl-clutching about what exactly the WHCA dinner is supposed to be.

In the end, it's becoming the inevitable: a stilted, boring affair that allows those in attendance to hobnob and pat themselves on the back while the president comes down tougher on those that make jokes about him than those who commit murder.
