It took Donald Trump more than two days to comment on Sarah Huckabee Sanders being asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, but alas, he’s finally settled on a comeback.
Rather than claiming he would treat people “respectfully” l…

8 of Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ most batshit moments as press secretary

TwitterFacebook

It’s been quite a week for Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

First, a report surfaced on Wednesday that she would be bidding adieu to the White House at the end of the year — moving on join her predecessors Sean Spicer and Anthony Scaramucci at whatever fancy island hideaway they’ve set themselves up on.

Then, on Thursday, she faced tough criticism from reporter Brian Karem about the administration’s widely condemned policy of separating children from parents who arrive in the U.S. illegally. He asked her point blank, “Don’t you have any empathy for what these people are going through?”

Her very ungraceful avoidance of the question may well turn out to be the defining moment of her tenure as secretary. But it’s certainly not the first time Sanders has stepped in it. Read more…

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders doesn’t have time for your nit-picky, detail-oriented technicality bull, Twitter.

The secretary took a break from echoing her boss’s venom-spewing at former FBI directer James Comey Saturday to herald Trump’s airstrikes on Syria in retribution for the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons on its own people.

Actor Jim Carrey is being slammed on social media for sharing a painting of a person assumed to be White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Carrey shared the painting on Twitter on Saturday with the caption, “This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!”

Sure, things are bad, but it’s not like we’ve gone full dystopia yet. 

I mean, our Great Leader isn’t lavishing praise on kowtowing corporations from giant screens while his dutiful lackey looks stone-faced into the distance …

Ah, yes, I see I spoke too soon. Welcome to just another day in 2018, which is turning out to be as batshit crazy as 2017. 

During a press briefing on Thursday, the White House skipped the entire pretense of Sarah Huckabee Sanders providing the media with useful information.

Instead, it rolled a video of Donald Trump praising companies who gave very public one-time bonuses to employees after the Republican tax bill passed, including Comcast and AT&T (who’s also quietly firing thousands of workers in the weeks ahead). Read more…

How the White House press conference became 2017’s must-see TV

On Saturday, January 21, 2017, the Trump administration began not with a gentle dose of diplomacy but with a red-faced tirade delivered by Press Secretary Sean Spicer, lambasting the media over reports of low attendance at the previous day’s inaugura…

The most insane White House presser moments of 2017

TwitterFacebook

Prior to 2017, my knowledge of White House press briefings came entirely from The West Wing. I thought fictional press secretary CJ Cregg’s collegial relationship with the White House press corps was typical. Oh how wrong I was — at least for the Trump administration. 

A hostile relationship between the press and the White House emerged as soon as Sean Spicer took the podium in January 2017 and continued after his July resignation and the appointment of the more restrained Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Throughout the year, the antagonistic briefings have ranged from absurd to infuriating.

Journalists had to say what they were thankful for at White House briefing before asking questions

TwitterFacebook

“I’m clearly thankful for all of you,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters at Monday’s White House press briefing.

She was apparently joking since she followed up with, “In all seriousness …” and rattled off a list of things she was actually thankful for, like her family, job, and country. 

The thankfulness didn’t stop with Sanders. She implemented a rule for Monday’s briefing — the final one before the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.

“This is how it’s going to work today,” she said. “If you want to ask a question I think it’s only fair since I’ve shared what I’m thankful for…you start off with what you’re thankful for.” Read more…
