Amber Ruffin will no longer host this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a revelation made immediately after the comedian publicly mocked President Donald Trump’s policies.

The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) disclosed the news in a statement to members on Saturday, March 29, two months after announcing her attendance, according to Deadline, Politico and NPR.

The same year, the event also broke from its streak of inviting a comedian to perform, instead enlisting a historian Ron Chernow. Previous comedians who have hosted the event include Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah and, most recently, Colin Jost.

“The WHCA board has unanimously decided we are no longer featuring a comedic performance this year,” WHCA President Eugene Daniels wrote of the annual dinner, which is set for April 26 at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., according to Politico. “At this watershed moment in journalism,” Daniels continued. “I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists.”

On March 30, neither the WHCA nor Ruffin’s representative quickly responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The organization’s decision to cancel Ruffin’s presentation comes just one day after White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich chastised the Emmy-nominated comedian, 46, for her criticisms of the Trump administration.

On Friday, March 28, Budowich shared a post on X calling Ruffin “a 2nd rate comedian” alongside a clip of her discussing her thoughts about the upcoming dinner in a recent interview.

In the clip, the comedian says, “You’re kind of a bunch of murderers,” seemingly in reference to the current administration. Ruffin also recalls a request to keep her speech at the event “equal,” to which she said, “There’s no way I’m going to be freaking doing that, dude. Under no circumstances.”

“What kind of responsible, sensible journalist would attend something like this?” Budowich wrote of her comments in the March 28 post. “More importantly, what kind of company would sponsor such as [sic] hate-filled and violence-inspiring event?”

The WHCA’s decision also comes after the comedian took jabs at the Trump administration on Late Night with Seth Meyers, per Politico.

According to the outlet, Ruffin, a writer for the NBC show, recently poked fun at the administration’s decision to ban Associated Press reporters from the Oval Office for refusing to alter its style guide to comply with the president’s controversial order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The WHCA has supported the AP in its subsequent lawsuit against the administration, per Deadline.
