White House says anonymous 'coward' behind NYT op-ed should resign

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders ripped the anonymous senior White House staffer who wrote an op-ed for The New York Times slamming President Trump’s conduct.

“The individual behind this piece has chosen to deceive, rather than support, the duly elected President of the United States,” she said in a statement. “He is not putting country first, but putting himself and his ego ahead of the will of the American people.”

"This coward should do the right thing and resign,” she added.




The statement follows criticism from Trump himself, who called the op-ed’s author “gutless.”

The author of the op-ed wrote that there are multiple people in the administration who are acting as a check on the president’s “misguided impulses.”

Then, just for fun, they can have an "I am Spartacus" moment. That would drive a certain WH occupant nuts.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

― Theodore Roosevelt
