During a recent gathering at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association party, President Biden criticized his predecessor, Donald Trump, likening him to a 6-year-old child. The event took place at the Washington Hilton hotel in Washington, DC, with hundreds of journalists, politicians, and celebrities in attendance.
President Biden made his comments during the dinner while attacking Trump for not receiving support from Vice President Pence in the recent election. In response, Trump called Biden a “disaster” on social media platform Truth Social.
Protesters gathered outside the hotel to criticize the Biden administration’s support for Israel in the Gaza conflict. They urged journalists to boycott the event. Despite this, Biden was able to enter through the back entrance and avoid the large crowd.
The White House Correspondents’ Association founded in 1914 holds this annual dinner to honor journalists covering the president and raise money for scholarships. The night was not without controversy as protesters and security concerns surrounded the event. The reactions from various parties made headlines in the media.
It is important to note that this event has been a tradition for many years and it is considered an important opportunity for journalists to network with each other and with government officials. However, it is always important to be aware of potential security risks and protests that may occur during any public gathering or event.
