The 2019 Washington Press Club Foundation Annual Congressional dinner served up some laughs Wednesday night from guest speakers Reps. Steve Scalise, Cheri Bustos and Daniel Crenshaw. The speakers threw jabs at one another and some of their fellow members, highlighting Crenshaw’s breakout SNL appearance, the New Orleans Saints upset loss in the N.F.C championship game and the Green New Deal to name a few.
