When I watched Michelle Wolf's monologue, I cringed somewhat thinking what if a comedian did this to Obama? What if they used really crude humor to roast him? I would indeed be upset, but here's the difference. Obama spoke to everyone, including his most ardent rivals, with dignity, grace, and most importantly respect. So, if a comedian went after him with the same type of satire that Michelle did to Trump, it would have been completely off-base.
However, Trump has treated everyone with utter contempt. He uses crude language on an almost daily basis. He attacks private citizens, even calling for them to be jailed. So, the satire that came back at him last night was indeed appropriate. In fact, the only way to truly roast him is to be as crude as he is.
Don't blame Michelle Wolf for creating this atmosphere. Credit her with bringing it to light.

Republicans need only watch the videos of the debates prior to the Republican primaries, and they will see that this crude, vile language shows the mirror to Trump and his administration. Trump is responsible for this.
