White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will attend the White House correspondents' dinner this year in place of President Trump, the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) announced Friday.
The news comes just hours after Trump himself said he "probably" would not be attending this year, the second year in a row he has skipped the annual dinner honoring D.C. journalists.
"The White House has informed us that the president does not plan to participate in this year's dinner but that he will actively encourage members of the executive branch to attend and join us as we celebrate the First Amendment," the WHCA wrote in a statement on Twitter.
"In keeping with tradition, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will represent the administration at the head table," the statement adds.
Well if you cannot have the Liar-in-Chief show up, I guess it is appropriate that he sends the second most deceitful person in his stead.
I don't even bother to watch any White House briefings anymore because the amount of lying is fucking overwhelming.
It is almost like Huckabee Sanders has an allergic reaction to the truth, and only occasionally does she slip and let a little honesty slip through.
Personally I hope that Michelle Wolf rips her to shreds during her opening act, and also spends an adequate amount of time ridiculing Trump for his cowardice in not showing up.
