The final White House Correspondence Dinner was held tonight at Larry Wilmore pulled no punches with his comedy monologue. Wilmore took no prisoners going after Wolf Blitzer, Don Lemon, CNN, Trump, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton just to name a few. At 4:52 of the video above he blasts CNN, and at 6:35 he destroys Don Lemon.
Lemon responded by flipping the bird which was captured and posted on Twitter.

Going after politicians was not unusual, however Wilmore’s jokes were near the imaginary line and he often crossed it, which resulted in glorious reactions on Twitter.

Becky with the good hair on CNN didn't like Larry Wilmore.
