Washington: President Joe Biden poked fun at himself but took sharp aim at his election rival Donald Trump Saturday at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, as protesters outside demonstrated against the conflict in Gaza.
A long list of VIP guests, including journalists and celebrities from Chris Pine to Molly Ringwald, arrived in black-tie attire as more than 100 protesters confronted attendees in front of the Washington Hilton hotel chanting "shame on you" and other slogans.
Inside, the topic of Gaza was far from the lips of Biden and the evening's comedian, Colin Jost of "Saturday Night Live," who roasted Biden for his age and occasional stumble on the Airforce One stairs.
"I would like to point out it's after 10pm, Sleepy Joe is still awake, while Donald Trump has spent the past week falling asleep in court every morning," Jost joked, referring to the former president's appearances at his New York hush money trial last week.
