De Witte Huis Correspondents Association has deposited the planned comedian for their annual dinner this year after she said on a podcast that the Trump government was staffed with 'murderers'.
Amber Ruffin would perform at the famous event next month, but the board of the association unanimously voted to remove it.
Eugene Daniels, president of the WHCA, said he wanted to make sure that “the focus is not on the politics of division, but entirely on awarding our colleagues.”
Daniels did not mention Ruffin by name in the memo and said that the board is planning a 'reinvancing our dinner'.
The move to dismiss Ruffin comes after she spoke about dinner in a podcast this week with The Daily Beast.
She said that the Trump Witte Huis is manned of 'murderers' and described the administration as 'no human beings'.
Taylor Budowich, the deputy Staff Chef of the White House, shared a clip of Ruffin on the podcast with his X account and hit the strip on Friday.
In it he said: 'This year's WHCA dinner is organized by a 2nd rate of 2nd rate that the event occurs by calling this administration' murderers'.

Budowich continued to quote Ruffin and said that the Trump manager should not feel like people “because you are not.”
'What kind of responsible, sensible journalist would attend such a thing? What is even more important, what kind of company would sponsor like with hatred -filled and violent event? '
When Daniels originally announced Ruffin as the most important characteristic, he said in a statement that her unique talents are the ideal suitable for this current political and cultural climate. '
He added: “Her perspective fits exactly in the tradition of dinner to honor the freedom of the press, while roasting the most powerful people on all sides of the aisle and the journalists who cover them.”
The annual dinner has taken place since 1921 and is known for entertainers who act who enjoy politics, often about important players who are present.
President Trump has never attended dinner in the office and he and his staff members have often criticized the event and previous comedians who performed.
It is unclear whether the president will be present, while his press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she would not be present.
Speaking of 'The Sean Spicer Show', she said: “This is a group of journalists who have been covering the White House for decades.

'They started this organization because the presidents did not do enough press conferences at that time.
“I don't think we have that problem among this president.”
Every American president since Calvin Coolidge in 1924 attended the event at least once, except Trump.
Presidents from FDR to Obama used the evening to poke pleasure in themselves, even if journalists sharpen their criticism.
But the refusal of Trump to attend during his first term shattered that precedent, and now Leavitt is following an example and goes one step further to publicly reprimand the WHCA as a 'monopoly monopoly'.
She accused the WHCA of being an 'exclusive group' who welcomed 'not really other people, new media, independent journalists, with open arms.'
