I Can't Believe Some Members Of The Press Are Planning A Farewell Party For Sanders

‘Two White House reporters from Politico and the Daily Mail are reportedly planning a going-away party next week for White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Politico's Anita Kumar and the Mail's Francesca Chambers reportedly invited reporters and the outgoing press secretary to "farewell drinks" at an upscale Washington D.C. bar and restaurant, according to an invitation obtained by HuffPo“

The pie as served up would certainly obscure the layers of egg-on-the-face accumulated by Sanders over the course of her mega-lying tenure.

https://blavity.com/april-ryan-says-fellow-white-house-reporter-told-her-the-only-reason-you-get-called-on-is-because-youre-black

“A conservative Black female reporter had openly, in my presence, spoke the wrong words, saying, ‘The only reason you get called on is because you’re black,'" Ryan wrote in the book.

The Washington Examiner reports Ryan revealed during a phone interview that the woman was White House correspondent for the Daily Mail, Francesca Chambers who, again, is also black.


According to Ryan, Chambers believed she was not getting a chance to ask questions because the White House showed some sort of favoritism toward the veteran reporter. Chambers seemingly felt overlooked by former Press Sec. Sean Spicer. Ryan has reported on the White House during the Clinton, Bush and Obama years.

“To this day, those words don’t sit well with me,” Ryan writes. “At that time, I had had enough! ‘Yes!’ I said to her. ‘You ain’t shit!’ In front of everyone, asking her, ‘Who you think you are? You’re Black too, in case you didn’t know it!’”

The 50-year-old is threatening legal action against the Daily Mail if she doesn't receive a public apology for the reporter's alleged comment.

so many stories of Suck-a-be Sanders hammering down the BOOZ after hours at Trump's Hotel with the Boys and Girls Club known as the Washington Reporters Cocktail Circuit.

Hey,most of these so called Reporters are nothing more than overpaid Steno's.

I don't think there are all that many people who I would be more desiring of seeing leave my presence than her.

....no matter if they despise her, they are going to cultivate a good relationship. She is obviously not dropping out of politics....so, they kiss ass to have access in the future.

Can't blame the reporters for not burning bridges.

I can't see SHS running for elected office, though.
