Among Hasan Minhaj’s best dishes were: “The news coming out of the White House is so stressful, I’ve been watching ‘House of Cards’ just to relax;” and “Only in America can a first generation Indian American Muslim kid get on this stage and make fun of the President.”
Minhaj ripped the 45th President for not drinking alcohol, but tweeting whatever pops into his head at all hours amazingly stone sober. He added: “In four hours Donald Trump will be tweeting about how badly Nicki Minaj bombed at this dinner.”
He concluded acknowledging the importance of free speech in America, a theme that echoed throughout the night at the annual Media Meets the White House event, which could have been a lot funnier and provided our country with some much needed comic relief had the President soberly showed up.
