Let's see if a reporter has the courage to ask Sarah Huckster Sanders this question

"If a person said they heard Trump use the N-Word that person would be lying, am I correct ? "

That's how F. Lee Bailey questioned Mark Furhran during the O.J. trial when he was setting him up for a perjury charge.

Baily said if a person said they heard you using the N word that person would be lying.

Fuhrman said yes.

Trump's defenders can't use that explanation because the charges of using the N word against him reinforce the existing narrative that he is, indeed, racist.

I'm simply pointing out that your example is completely irrelevant as there would be no repercussions to her lying. She is not the stand in a court of law, nor is she under oath.

Has Conway been banned from shows? Will Katrina Pierson be? I agree there should be repercussions but will there?

and say something like: this is absurd, fake news, blah, blah.

Then she'd probably say she's never heard him use it, she's never talked to anyone who heard him use it. It's a crazy question. Biased media. Fuck you CNN and Jim Acosta.

Basically that'd be her statement.

"Can you guarantee that we'll never hear a tape where the president uses the "N word"?

SHS says she can never guarantee anything.

And again Kristin asks "So you can't guarantee it?".
