The annual White House correspondents' dinner was held Saturday in which President Biden was joined by politicians, journalists and celebrities for an election year roast, with the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war and protests over the conflict. The event featured a roast of the president by comedian Colin Jost, who also made jokes targeting the media and Republican politicians, including former President Trump and Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Chants of 'Shame on you!' and 'Free Palestine' were heard as guests in suits and long dresses made their way inside for the dinner. Protesters accused U.S. journalists of not covering the war enough and misrepresenting it when they do cover it. 'Western media we see you, and all the horrors that you hide,' protesters chanted.
