COLBERT: “Folks, I try to remember not to be in Washington, D.C., as often as possible. But there is certainly no time I am there less than the weekend of the White House correspondents’ dinner, which is why this Saturday, I will again not be. But...[Cheers] But... & and it’s a big but. But for reasons that are not clear to me, many others will. If you’re not familiar with the White House correspondents’ dinner, it is, traditionally, a lighthearted night when the press and politicians get together, and, in my personal experience, stare in dead-eyed silence at the performer while the president mentally orders a hit by seal team 6.

And reportedly, in his remarks, he’s planning to attack the press and target publications he has accused of writing negatively about his administration.”
