Amber Ruffin's scheduled performance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner was abruptly canceled following pressure from the Trump Administration after she made critical remarks about the necessity of equal criticism for both Democrats and Republicans. In response to the cancellation, Ruffin made a surprise appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, humorously addressing the idea of fairness in criticism. The incident sparked a debate about satire, partisanship, and artistic freedom in political commentary.

The WHCA canceled Ruffin’s set after she appeared on a podcast and criticized the idea that she needed to be equally critical of Democrats and Republicans.
