White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Thursday encouraged angry Trump fans to call the New York Times‘ opinion desk in retaliation for the anonymous op-ed it published written by an administration official — and but her call for retribution backfired horribly.

“If you want to know who this gutless loser is, call the opinion desk of the failing NYT,” Sanders wrote, adding the phone number for the opinion department.

After the press secretary called for angry Trump supporters to call the opinion desk, Times reporters began tweeting that they had indeed been flooded with calls — but that many of them were supportive.

“After @PressSec directed people to call the @nytimes and ask the opinion section to out the Op-Ed writer, many have called instead to voice their support for the Op-Ed and the NYT news coverage of the Trump administration,” the Times‘ national security correspondent Amy Fiscus tweeted.

WW2 for Japan against the allies. As being the daughter of a minister in AR (her daddy is a big ol' mess too), she sure failed miserably in her grades as that of being concerned w/ the welfare of her fellow Americans and I don't particularly like her snobbish and arrogant manner in dealing w/ the press, who are representing us fellow Americans behind the scenes.

We do have ?s about things in the administration, which are valid and I don't like the lying and deceitfulness, and the snobbish attitude that she depicts all of the time. No wonder she acts like a victim (all an act).
One day will come where she'll have to answer and atone for her complicity in the crimes by this administration.
