Looks like the left is coming further unhinged now that their "Russia Collusion" is dying in front of them.

It's acts like this that show just how unhinged they have become.

What's next?

Conservatives Saturday night and Sunday criticized the tenor and character of the White House Correspondents’ dinner after comedian Michelle Wolf ripped into Trump administration officials.

Wolf stunned the crowd at Saturday night’s dinner with biting jokes about President Trump and his White House, including top aides like counselor Kellyanne Conway and press secretary Sarah Sanders, who attended the dinner in his stead.

Trump, as he did in 2017, skipped the dinner in order to hold a campaign rally in Washington, Mich.

Many Washington conservatives felt the dinner was unnecessarily cruel toward Conway and Sanders, and other Republicans.

“My wife @mercedesschlapp and I walked out early from the wh correspondents dinner. Enough of elites mocking all of us,” said Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, in a Twitter post.

Wolf also told a joke about abortion that outraged conservatives.

The joke centered on Vice President Mike Pence's anti-abortion position.

“He thinks abortion is murder,” Wolf said, “which, first of all, don’t knock it ‘til you try it — and when you do try it, really knock it. You know, you’ve got to get that baby out of there. And yeah, sure, you can groan all you want. I know a lot of you are very anti-abortion. You know, unless it’s the one you got for your secret mistress."

 Even comedian Rob Schneider has spoken out about how SNL is becoming unwatchable.

Comedian Rob Schneider believes that 'Saturday Night Live' is beginning to beat a dead horse with their sketch jabs at the Trump administration.

The 54-year-old who got his big break with NBC's comedy series in the 1990s, feels the show has gotten its point across when it comes to its disdain for Trump.

'The fun of 'Saturday Night Live' was always you never knew which way they leaned politically,' he told the New York Daily News.

'You kind of assumed they would lean more left and liberal, but now the cat's out of the bag they are completely against Trump, which I think makes it less interesting because you know the direction the piece is going.'

I heard on the radio this morning that it was said that 'Mitch McConnell wasn't at the dinner because he was out getting his neck circumcised'.

That was at least as funny as those pathetic hacks pretending to be comedians at the dinner.

And I suppose you believed it.
There is a phrase that describes comments like that.  I'm not sure what the word is, but it is a mechanism to redirect that audience away from a truth they don't like.
