Apparently , we started traveling down the route to this year ’s WHCD getting attention for all of the improper ground when Ruffin discussed the gig during a podcast audience withSamantha BeeandJoanna Colesfor The Daily Beast ( which you could check out above ) . During the conversation , Ruffin discourse how she was kick the bucket to approach the event – and how she was n’t give-up the ghost to be pulling punches . " I ’m not 100 % interested in being like , ' Ha , you ’re here . see at your stupid head . You ’re burned . ' I care , like , ' You ’re kind of a clustering of murderers . ' " The WHCA manifestly pushed the idea of Ruffin target everyone the same fashion – an theme that Ruffin was n’t on board with . " They were like , ' You involve to be equal and ensure that you give it to both sides and blah blah blah . ' I was like , ' There ’s no way I am give-up the ghost to be freak out doing that dude . Under no consideration , ' " Ruffin added .
That brought us to last week when late - Nox host Seth Meyers give Ruffin a chance to share her mentation on what go down and what it said about the current state of mass medium and news media . " The whole understanding we have a free press is so we can cover chronicle as they actually come about , " Meyers say at one decimal point , fence that news media is meant to call out the realness of what ’s materialise in our society — especially when itisn’tpleasant . That ’s when Ruffin respond with some much - need knife - twisting on the WHCA .
" No , we have a free insistence so that we can be nice to Republicans at fancy dinners . That ’s what it read in the First Amendment , " Ruffin shared , going into further detail after Meyers move surprised that the First Amendment would treat that issue specifically . " I think so . I ca n’t say it . They write it in that buggy running hand . The point is that you are sowing the seeds of discordance . And I used to be the same way . I thought , when people take by your rights , score out your history , and acquit your admirer , you are supposed to call it out , " Ruffin responded . " But I was improper . happy to find that out now because if they had let me give that delivery … Oh , sister . I would have been so terrifically think of . "
