No president in American history has gone through that. And nobody wants to talk about why it keeps happening. I break down everything that went down at the White House Correspondents Dinner — the facts, the misinformation, the conspiracy theories spreading online, and the one thing nobody on either side wants to say out loud: the rhetoric from the top is getting people killed. I also call out Jimmy Kimmel's disgusting \"expectant widow\" comment about Melania, the media spreading garbage before they even knew what happened, and why — when made guys on the street had more respect for each other than politicians do today — we have a real problem in this country.
