BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended comedian Larry Wilmore’s use of the n-word and other racially-tinged epithets during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, saying the president “appreciated the spirit of Mr. Wilmore’s expressions on Saturday night.” Wilmore described the progress the United States has made in his lifetime by electing an African-American president, saying, “So, Mr. President, if I’m going to keep it 100: Yo, Barry, you did it, my n—–. You did it.” Al Sharpton said he was extremely angry at Wilmore for using the racial slur, and explained after the function, “The n-word should never be used by one African-American referring to another African-American, unless it’s in the lyrics of a rap song, or a liberal black describing a conservative black.”
