Tucker Carlson and Mark Steyn joined forces for the kabillionth time tonight to offer some cultural criticism, this time ripping apart comedian Michelle Wolf‘s controversial performance at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Carlson started things off on Monday night by calling the dinner as “the worst crime against comedies since The Hangover 2.” When the Fox host’s favorite contributor joined him on shortly afterwards, the two of them launched into a discussion of how Wolf should’ve at least come up with better jokes as a professional comic.
“I think actually we are looking at the death of comedy,” Steyn declared. “I quite like a lot of shock, edgy, so-called dangerous comedy but this stuff is offensive without actually being funny.”
Steyn continued to berate Wolf for entertaining the media with Trump jokes when she could’ve tried joking about issues like North Korea or the recent visit from French president Emmanuel Macron.
“This is sophisticated wit for the smartest people in Washington,” Steyn snarked. “This is the death of comedy because there is nothing the Left can make honest jokes about except to mock Republicans as liars or uptight Christian fundamentalists hung up on abortion.”
