AceShowbiz - It's been a turbulent few weeks for Amber Ruffin. Initially named the host for the upcoming White House Correspondents' Dinner, she was abruptly ditched from the event. This decision by White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) followed her outspoken stance against President Donald Trump.

"I lost the gig because I was out here talking s**t. I think it's a good thing that I lost the gig because I wasn't going to show up there and act all the way out," Ruffin shared on CNN's "Have I Got News for You."

Despite the setback, Ruffin appears to be taking it all in stride. She admitted that the evolving political climate and her own convictions made her position as host untenable. "It's not anyone's fault because when I was hired, we were like, 'Oh, yeah, and we'll give it to everybody.' "

"Then, they started f**king disappearing people to a prison in El Salvador, they rolled back f**king civil rights, so I was like, if I make this equal, then I'm also a piece of s**t. I can't f**king do that."

WHCA president Eugene Daniels stated that the decision to cancel Ruffin was made unanimously by the board to "ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work."

Reflecting on the controversy, Ruffin has remained vocal about her criticisms. She highlighted the Trump administration's policies on immigration and civil rights as key points of contention.

"I thought when people take away your rights, erase your history and deport your friends, you're supposed to call it out. But I was wrong," she remarked when sitting down Seth Meyers on his late night show.

It's worth noting that tension between the WHCA and the Trump administration is nothing new. During his first presidency, Trump was notably absent from the WHCA dinners.

Earlier this year in February, the Associated Press was banned from the White House for refusing to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." Following this, the administration took full control over the White House press pool, further complicating the WHCA's role.

Scheduled for April 26, the event will proceed without Ruffin but not without lingering questions about the intersection of comedy, free speech, and political accountability.
