Things got painfully real for the liberal media during CNN’s New Day Sunday after Nick Adams, Founder of the Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness, called out the White House Correspondent’s Dinner for being “a Democratic Party worship center.” “But, I think that there's no reason for the President to go on this particular occasion,” Adams explained, after being asked if Trump should attend the lavish liberal event, “I know that it's a long-standing tradition, but in recent years it’s become a blight on the republic.

You know, I think the oligarchic spectacle of the fourth-estate, dressing up in a white tie to celebrate themselves accompanied by various celebrities--” he continued before being rudely cut off by flabbergasted New Day Sunday co-host Christi Paul. “You mean it’s inappropriate? You think it's inappropriate? I don't understand why you call it a blight,” she said.

He then scorned the event as “a Democratic Party worshiping center” and recalled how the event’s lampooning was harsher on Republicans. “I mean, when we have a look at what has happened in recent years, Republican presidents are mocked in a brutal way, while Democratic presidents are soothed and patted like family pets,” a point which was proven when Paul previously hyped and cut to a clip of former President Barack Obama mocking Trump at the dinner.
