A former Trump official had harsh words for anyone planning to attend the upcoming White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
“If you’re going to partake in the humiliation ritual that Donald Trump is going to thrust upon you, feel a little bit of shame for going,” Sarah Matthews, the former White House deputy press secretary from 2020 to 2021, said on the Bulwark Podcast on Thursday. “You cannot pay me enough to attend that dinner.”
The annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner will take place on Saturday. Trump is expected to go on a scripted tirade and attack members of the media, according to the Daily Beast.
Matthews said in the podcast that she’s been “on the anti-Trump side” for the past five years. She resigned on Jan. 6, 2021, in light of the Capitol riot.
“I was never fully bought in on the MAGA brand,” she said. “I’m happy to be on this side of things now…feels good to know we were right.”
