WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden jabbed at the vaccinated Fox News reporters attending the White House Correspondents’ Association gala on Saturday evening.
The president, who spoke at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., to the assembled reporters, politicians, and celebrities attending the WHCA event, joked to the room, “Why in the hell are we still doing this?”
“I know there are [other] questions about whether we should gather here tonight, because of COVID. Well, we’re here to show the country that we’re getting through this pandemic. Plus, everyone had to prove they are fully vaccinated and boosted,” Biden added.
“So, if you’re home watching this, and you’re wondering how to do that, just contact your favorite Fox News reporter,” he said. “They’re all here, vaccinated and boosted. All of em.”
“Fox News, I’m really sorry your preferred candidate lost the last election,” the president continued. “To make it up to you, I’m happy to give my chief of staff to you all, so he can tell Sean Hannity what to say every day.”

Comedian Trevor Noah would also mock Fox News hosts during his remarks later in the evening, joking that Fox News was like a “Waffle House.”
“It’s relatively normal in the afternoon, but as soon as the sun goes down, there’s a drunk lady named Jeanine threatening to fight every Mexican who comes in,” he said.
“How about that Fox primetime lineup, huh?” he continued. “Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, their coverage of COVID was really impactful. Their segments about vaccines moved their viewers into the ICU.”
