WHCA president says press is 'not the opposition' while taking taking aim at Trump

MSNBC correspondent and White House Correspondents' Association President Eugene Daniels took aim at Trump on Saturday during the association's annual dinner, declaring the press was "not the opposition."

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

I began my journalism career at The Federalist, an outlet that was founded with only one official editorial position; ending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. I agreed with it at the time, but having grown since, I now see the error of my ways and am calling to disband the entire White House Correspondents’ Association.  

On Saturday, April 26, in Washington, D.C., the WHCA held its annual dinner, once a time-honored tradition of the capital. Now it is a shell of itself that the president does not even attend, and an event for which the organization struggles to find a host who won’t perform a seizure of hatred toward President Donald Trump. 

Of course, this year the entire farce was held under the cloud of the liberal news organizations that cover the presidency having failed to report that President Joe Biden, as commander in chief, was not only not in charge, but often barely awake.

Look at what WCHA President Eugene Daniels actually said in his opening remarks, I had to read it twice to believe it: "I know this has been an extremely difficult year for all of you. It's been difficult for this association. We've been tested, attacked, but every single day our members get up, they run to the White House, plane, train, automobile with one mission, holding the powerful accountable."
