She was saying, you look so beautiful.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

To which I replied, it is so nice to put a name to the face, especially with all the slander, the lies, accusations that are out there surrounding my husband's murder and myself.

And I said to her, you know what's so interesting?

This is my first time at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

And I find it so fascinating, the dynamic that is going on right now, because everyone is all dressed up and you guys are co-mingling in and out of each other's cocktail parties.

And so for one night, you were able to put aside all of your differences for the sake of freedom of speech.

And then by Monday morning, things will go back to being an absolute bloodbath between all of you.

To which she replied, literally, she said, I know.

Isn't it special, right?

If you were in that room...

You had no way of knowing what the status of the shooter was, how many there were, or honestly, really anything.

It was just utter chaos.

And so during an active shooting, these journalists are using their phones to find moments to capture for clips.

They were so concerned about getting a video in a room with an active shooter that they could have accidentally and quite literally filmed themselves being shot.

Many of those people have become so desensitized that fight or flight became secondary to the opportunity of putting themselves into the story, which ironically breaks the number one rule of journalism.

If you can just pause and just take a minute and ask yourself, how would you feel if even just one person made cruel jokes about the attempted murder of your loved one?

That is what Jimmy Kimmel did to the First Lady.

He said that she had the glow of an expected widow.

The glow of an expected widow.
