If you think the tax cuts were for you, you need to do more research on it. How can you say Russia collusion has died?

[@Oxzane95]

Colloquial speaking is something that the broad majority of the population does in everyday conversations and talking to their friends, family, colleagues, etc., so why talk sophisticated and scholarly to the entire population of Americans, especially when 1/8 of them speak Spanish as their primary language and another large portion aren't as educated to understand formal language?

His harsh truths were balanced perfectly by his boyish charm and he had just the right energy and physical performance to execute the material. It wasn't just funny, it was dynamic and fantastic commentary on American society and the current state of Journalism...

[@mynastycomment5360]

+Jiri Klouda I don't know why you think this is a political speech. The jokes were not bad but half of them did not connect with the audience because Hasan was speaking too fast. I was disappointed that Hassan ruined the closure by blaming Trump for not defending the 1st Amendment, which is not true. Trump can be blamed for a lot of things. Not defending the 1st Amendment is not one of them. In fact, it is my personal opinion that Trump talks shit to get around the censorship that our 'free press' imposes on anyone that is not establishment. Look at how Gary Johnson & Stein did not get any press during the election. Even Bernie got press only towards the end that too bad press. Trumps talks shit to force the press to focus on him. I am sure he believes that any press (even bad press) is better than NO press at all and it sure worked and is continuing to work for him. The selection of Hasan a Muslim is political (because the organizer's intention was to make Trump attack a Muslim) the speech itself is not.

[@judefetzen7018]

Che'mari Truax Hasan was damn funny!! And for Trump to not show up he's a coward. Get a sense of humor and Frank Sinatra is dead!!!

Hasan roasted Trump so hard, 570 people missed the like button

[@DavidVargas-qk4tz]

It's all jokes but hopefully CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc. take notice that's how we feel about the news. Most of us know you aren't Fake News but do the news, forget entertainment.

[@EC_Tavo]

"Then you have to smile and say thank you" that really hit some type of way.

"We have to address the elephant is not in the room" great sarcasm :-) great sense of humor.

Jesus fucking Christ, I dare say this was as savage as Colbert. Almost no one recognizable was at this event but he fucking destroyed everyone. Incredible!

[@marahnatha5724]

No, he destroyed arm chair liberals sitting at home. The room was basically bored.

[@starryxblue]

marah natha That's why he got a standing ovation? Yeah sure they were really bored - check past WHCD if you think that's normal

[@scott6731]

Bored? They looked more uncomfortable than anything else.

[@bubujooestes1499]

Scott They were smiling throughout his presentation .They applauded several times.

[@charbax]

Yes best since Colbert of 11 years ago. Bush being there, Trump not being there, helped. Fantastic.

I don't think Trump's skin could've taken the roast. Anymore roasting and he'll get skin cancer.

[@twentysixlinx327]

I don't recall another comedian getting a standing O from this crowd. He touched a nerve and truth about the cornerstones of democracy. When the press is blamed and attacked for doing their actual job, we are lost. This was funny, gut wrenching, brave, and outstanding.

[@DennisMoore664]

I don't use it online very often, but -- that was fucking awesome! Hasan tore that shit up!

[@TheUberGopher]

The crowd sure didn't seem to think so. I've seen more laughs at a funeral.

[@elnu7892]

Of course the crowd didn't laugh. The people in the room at these dinners are usually the butt of the jokes. Highlighting their hypocrisy is what makes it satisfying for us on the outside.

[@RealityExposedChannel]

This guy made me cry in laughter.

[@DiogoF.]

Those people are very stiff, uncomfortable just to look at...

[@trevorsung7970]

Brilliant work. But felt the camera stays too long on the guest for reaction making it awkward

[@ColoringKaria]

they do that every year. Larry Wilmore and Stephen Colbert were the best for crowd reactions.

[@richardhorgan3007]

Wolf Blitzer was pretty classic too, guffawing when Minhaj joked about his dad running for president, e.g. the guy who tries to return used underwear to Costco.

[@donibelle]

Yes. Though I noticed he didn't laugh when the joke was on him.

[@FerFer1958]

I think that if you are successful on your delivery, like Colbert, Hasan and others, the crowd shouldn't react at all... they are the ones being targeted by the jokes. The camera just shows that reality. Colbert got no reaction at all. Hasan was a bit more intellectual on his jokes at the end and I saw some of the crowd laughing.

[@LookingGlass24]

Of all the comedians who’ve attended this dinner in the past 10 yrs, Hasan Minaj has been the best IMO. Not only is he funny but he’s SMART! He spoke truth in a way that clueless white peoples could understand. He inspired and made this absolutely memorable. I come back to play it often. Bravo, Bravo! 👏🏼 👏🏼 But, he was sooo good, they haven’t invited him back yet. I hope they do! America needs to hear truth in a way they can understand it!

[@barth1642]

Extremely funny, especially because there was a grain of truth in almost every joke. I loved the ones on CNN and the other media. The jokes on trump himself were okay, but that man has already made a joke of himself, its difficult to top that.

[@eejoon508]

I love the CNN part. Hope they change their news a bit. It gets tiresome.

[@StrangeTerror]

I would like to say, As damn near the only white boy in my neighborhood for half a mile that wasn't passing through terrified for his life I can honestly say; There's no exaggeration in this. You would be an idiot to imagine that racism doesn't go both ways. You can easily imagine me taking shit growing up. So with that said from the point of view of a white male recently turning 24 I am personally EXTREMELY happy that these conversations are consistently thrown in the faces of those in power. I have more minority friends now than I have ever had "White" friends in my life. I have been more accepted by those who automatically chocked me into the same group as those that were suppressing their success than I have EVER been by "White America" I am a white male, And my views on this issue aligning with those of minorities I can assure you create just as many divides on this side of the fence. DO NOT LET THEIR BULLSHIT GET TO YOU!!! I am Native American, German, Irish, Blah blah blah blah. Keep up your fight. Minorities have ALWAYS done more in my experience than those who oppress them. Do not forget this strife is not pleasant, But it will make your points hit that much harder, and make you that much more driven to change the world for a better. Do not forget. Quick addition: Karma's a bitch.

I'm sorry, I know comedy is subjective, but he was not that funny at all. I only listened to him because Whoopi Goldberg was stating that the guy made jokes of not just Trump, but the media outlets too. Look at the faces of the audience, and the lack of laughter noise, it's pockets of laughs. They were only joke that even made me laugh was the minority joke. HIs serious points were better were the only pluses I can name, one about the first amendment and about the media having to be on their "A" game. #if i had pain for a meal that tasted that bad, I would be asking for a partial refund
