With greens on the menu and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar on the speakers' list, there was no way salad wasn't going to be the punchline of at least one joke at the annual Gridiron dinner in Washington, D.C. on Saturday.
Klobuchar, Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana and Ivanka Trump were among the speakers at the annual white-tie dinner hosted by the Gridiron Club and Foundation, an exclusive group for top Washington journalists. The 134-year-old tradition is a chance for reporters, politicians and other movers-and-shakers to mingle and roast one another and the absurdities of the Washington political scene.
born into privilege, "as if being Donald Trump's daughter isn't the hardest job in the world."
On her father's absence from the dinner, Ivanka said, "The opportunity to poke fun at the media isn't something he passes up lightly."
In some ways, she added, "for my father, every day is a Gridiron dinner."
