CBS news anchor Tony Dokoupil goes full MAGA complete w/talking points as he "reported" U.S. didn't start this war,

Rather than a roast, she promised to fluff him. Instead of having a comedian, she hired a goofy magic act...a "mentalist." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/2026-white-house-correspondents-dinner-act-oz-pearlman-1236516114/
