The jokes, they just write themselves. At this year's unusual White House Correspondents' dinner on April 29, host Hasan Minhaj delivered a masterful roast of President Trump, who was **t in attendance. **t holding back one iota, Minhaj's speech centered around free speech, and he also managed to land some zingers about America's current cultural climate.
"This event is about celebrating the First Amendment and free speech. Free speech is the foundation of an open and liberal democracy from college campuses to the White House," Minhaj quipped. "Only in America can a first generation Indian American Muslim kid get on this stage and make fun of the President."
Minhaj's jokes were expertly laden with biting candor. "But the president didn't show up. Because Donald Trump doesn't care about free speech," Minhaj added. After all the jokes were said and done, Minhaj's speech was a memorable moment at a dinner that was atypical because of Trump's absence.
