White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will attend the White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) this year in place of President Trump, the White House Correspondents' Association announced Friday.

The news comes just hours after Trump himself said he "probably" would not be attending this year, the second year in a row he has skipped the annual dinner honoring D.C. journalists.

"The White House has informed us that the president does not plan to participate in this year's dinner but that he will actively encourage members of the executive branch to attend and join us as we celebrate the First Amendment," the WHCA wrote in a statement on Twitter.

"In keeping with tradition, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will represent the administration at the head table," the statement adds.

So they're sending Sarah Slanders as a token snearer to sit there and make faces after every joke about Trump?

1. Perhaps she'll do a funny reading from the Bible!

...or 5 minutes from her stand-up routine.

2. Good, it will be fun to slap her around verbally, too.

[forgotmylogin]

22. I'm sure the WH Correspondents in the press pool LOVE HER...

It'd be great if they had her prepare a speech and then refuse to call her to the podium, skipping over her repeatedly for a long line of CNN people.

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. It'll be great to see them rag on her

and not be able to shut them up with a wave of the hand.

[truthisfreedom]

3. Such a hoot!

[keithbvadu2]

4. Why not VP Pence?

[Eyeball_Kid]

17. Mother told him he can't go. He's got laundry to fold.

[fleur-de-lisa]

27. There will be women there.

Mother does not approve of women being allowed out in public.

[Miles Archer]

5. Delightful.

[onecent]

7. OMG what a picture!

[shraby]

10. She better watch out, her ugliness is showing permanently.

It looks to be to the bone. Wasn't she ever told that your face will show who you are inside?

[Eyeball_Kid]

16. Jeezus! Give that lady a drink!

[atreides1]

6. This will be good!

Sarah may get her fair share of roasting, she might end up as the primary target.

[Paladin]

8. The chickenshit motherfucker. (nt)

[shraby]

9. I would think the press secretary should be the one to attend that dinner anyway instead of

the president. It always struck me as odd that the president is the honored guest instead.

[left-of-center2012]

11. Since when is this tradition?

"In keeping with tradition, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will
represent the administration at the head table,"

I look forward to seeing her exhibit her sense of humor.

[Historic NY]

19. Trumps putting her head on the table?

[groundloop]

24. This is a new tradition, started by 45* (aka spanky), to protect thin skinned assholes

[Freethinker65]

12. Hahahahaha

[bronxiteforever]

13. She will bring that ole Huckabee humor to the event.

Maybe her father will write her remarks?

‘It feels like our country is riding to hell on a bicycle and Mike Huckabee’s the E.T. in a blanket tweeting.’

14. So who's the chickenshit? I smell the blood of a coward.

[muntrv]

15. Will Jim Carey be there?

[CatMor]

18. How about Stormy Daniels as someone's guest.

[chelsea0011]

33. Oh, I hope so.

[infullview]

20. Sarah Sander's facial expression..

I was told that the mussels in your face 'train' to show your mood. If you scowl continuously with down-turned lips for most of the day this will become your default expression without realizing it.

I think this sums up Sarah. She is not and probably never will be a happy person.

[dixiegrrrrl]

25. Also happens if you clam up too much....

[mahina]

30. Sarah, let your light shine, dont be shellfish!

She goes by the name Sarah Slanders or Bubbles in this household.

My Grandma used to say to get the face you earned once the beauty of youth fades.

[Plucketeer]

34. I'm betting

she'll conch out!

[mahina]

36. Paging Pinboy3niner

Those limpet eyes!

[blugbox]

39. Oh c'mon guys!

I mean it's not like she's doing it on porpoise...

[mahina]

32. Agreed!

And I can’t think of a butter example.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

41. At least she doesn't need a combover to cover her scallop.

But sometimes she's full'a abalone.

[infullview]

42. Hey that's what happens when you don't proof read and let auto correct do the work :)

But very funny replies !

[dixiegrrrrl]

43. We've all provided grist for the humor mill here....

One of the joys of DU..

[Javaman]

21. she has two choices...

remain stone faced or laugh at everything.

if one moment is shown where she laughs at a joke at the expense of the orange asshole, her days are numbered.

not that I care about this paid parrot Baghdad bob impersonator, it will just be interesting to watch.

[Owens]

23. Journalists need to ban this event

Seriously, all journalists should ban this event because of Lying Sarah Sanders who has slammed the media over and over.

[mahina]

31. Isnt it a scholarship fundraiser for journalists?

The dimmest among them has more wit in a toenail than poor Sarah Slanders in her entire Edgar suit. (Men in Black reference, in case)

[blugbox]

40. I'm sure

she keeps a bottle of sugar water handy at all times...

[strangedaysindeed]

28. Relax

Michelle Wolf will mop the floor with her.

[TNNurse]

37. And I will watch. If you have sold your soul to Trump.

you deserve to get any criticism sent your way.

I guess she once had a soul but considering her heritage...maybe not.

[BigmanPigman]

35. The bully is a nutless wonder.

He can dish it out.... His ego is so fragile and easily bruised but he sure likes to go out swinging blindly. Typical chicken shit. His hair even resembles a chicken's head.

[Cold War Spook]

38. Hey

my Road Island Red takes offense at that remark
