CNN contributor Ana Navarro praised comedian Michelle Wolf following her routine at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, saying she should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for doing what “nobody else has been able to do.”
“I’d say to Michelle Wolf, ‘Hallelujah, girl. You should be the one getting the Nobel Peace Prize,’” Navarro said on CNN’s “New Day.”
“She was able to do what nobody else has been able to do: Get Trump supporters to actually go on TV and defend women from being skewered and offended for their looks,” Navarro added.
Trump tweeted on Sunday calling the comedian “filthy” with an act that “totally bombed.”
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was a failure last year, but this year was an embarrassment to everyone associated with it. The filthy “comedian” totally bombed (couldn’t even deliver her lines-much like the Seth Meyers weak performance). Put Dinner to rest, or start over!

Wolf’s controversial jokes during Saturday’s dinner sparked outrage among the administration, politicians and journalists. Some attendees left the dinner early, while others expressed their disapproval later during interviews and on Twitter.
