Sarah Huckabee Sanders Slammed by Reporter as She Cuts Press Briefing Short: 'Do Your Job, Sarah'

[question everything]

Source: Newsweek

As Sarah Huckabee Sanders ended the first White House press briefing of December after only a few minutes, one reporter was heard yelling, “Do your job, Sarah!”

The exchange happened as Sanders left the podium and was exiting the room after one of the shortest press briefings of her tenure as White House press secretary. It was her first press briefing of the month, with her last formal meeting with reporters taking place more than 20 days ago.

The meeting got off to a rocky start, beginning nearly an hour later than originally scheduled. Then, when Sanders did allow members of the press to ask questions, she repeatedly cut off answers and signaled that they were “short on time.”

The briefing came as lawmakers in Washington were preparing for a potential government shutdown later this week over border security, as Donald Trump refused to bend on his $5 billion request to fund his long-promised border wall.

1. She had better be saving her money because she will need a good lawyer and will never work again.

[Jedi Guy]

3. Nah, she'll be fine as long as she evades Mueller or hasn't actually broken the law.

She'll write books, and the usual suspects will buy them. She'll show up on the usual shows on Fox. That's kind of a little cottage industry on the right these days.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. She has broken the law numerous times.

at least once

[Jedi Guy]

30. Well then, she'd better hope she can evade Mueller. I doubt she can.

If she gets pinched, I won't shed any tears for her. She'll just be one more person in the conga line.

[Scarsdale]

22. I read that she is leaving

at the end of this year. She will not be hired by Faux, too big and brunette.

[forgotmylogin]

29. Someone on Twitter said her salary is $180k.

I'm estimating the total cumulative length of her press conferences is not more than six hours, making her a wage of $30k/hour.

[BigmanPigman]

2. And she wants her legacy to be how transparent and honest she has been

with the press. HA!

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. "I hope that it will be that I showed up every day ..."

She even fails at the 'showing-up' bit, let alone the 'honest' etc. stuff.

4. Damn. It sure appears that they are falling apart at the seams.

Without any doubt, the nuttiest administration the U.S. (probably any country) has ever seen.

[dem4decades]

5. I hope the prosecuting attorney and judge sends her immediately to jail.

For the sake of expediency, of course.

[Perseus]

8. Although she has lied constantly, she has not been part of the criminal acts

Of course, that one can claim she is complicit, but she did not master mind or execute any of the criminal acts, she was just a parrot to the whole deal.

She doesn't seem to be a nice person and of course she knew everything she said was a lie, but I am not sure she can go to jail for that. Her problem is that she must be one of the most hated people in the World today, and that is not good when you are trying to look for a new job, although like someone already wrote, she will appear at Fox and give lectures to right-wing groups, she will do fine.

[barbtries]

11. obstruction nt

[cstanleytech]

14. Hmm if she knows of an actual crime committed by Trump or his family and chooses to help cover it up

by lying does that not make her a co conspirator ?

[question everything]

40. I doubt she knows anything

Whiny Donny keeps her, like everyone else, in the dark, or is just - as his lawyer says - fucking liar.

And one can say from her "responses" and evasion that she has no answers. "Currently we are not considering this." Even if she knows, Whiny Donny will report the reverse.

Her only "accomplishment" was showing at the foreign correspondences dinner last year, trying to stay dignified - as much as she can - at the face of the jokes.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

41. Conspiracy to defraud the United States of America?

But w the sentences I see handed down so far, she'll be a fine over the counter and right out on the streets. They'll get serious about locking people up when Democrats get in trouble. (gods forbid).

[volstork]

17. "she has not been part of the criminal acts"

...that we know of, at this point.

[George II]

6. She always starts them an hour or so late and then says "we have limited time because...

...the president has an event to attend." WTF, she has to be there to change his diaper or empty his drool cup?

[Jedi Guy]

31. Hope Hicks is gone, so SOMEONE has to steam his pants for him. N/T

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

42. You know what really burns MY ass?

A flame...about 3 feet high. Heh heh. The 'steam his pants' comment reminded me of that old one.

[janx]

37. Yes, and the more likely the questions are to be contentious,

the later she arrives.

[AndJusticeForSome]

7. Isn't this, like, her *only* job?

How can she be "short on time"?

I've never understood how they can rationalize that.

[barbtries]

9. what the fuck does she do all day

that would make actually doing her job something there's no time for?

[TeamPooka]

12. If I were her, I'd be drinking heavily.

[LiberalFighter]

25. If I had known that I wouldn't have dumped alcohol from the 80's down the drain.

And sent it to her.

[volstork]

18. Burning the truth

to make her smoky eyes.

[DRoseDARs]

32. Came here for this very comment. Thank you.

Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's lies. It's probably lies.

[volstork]

33. We aim to please!

It's probably lies!

[DRoseDARs]

34. I like to imagine Ms. Wolf watched Colbert's WHPC dinner to pump herself up before her turn there...

Watched it and then thought, "OK Stephen, that was good, but hold my beer and watch this..." and then proceeded to burn that whole place down.

Good god, no prisoners. Even the flops she made them eat. One for the ages and a thing of beauty.

[volstork]

39. She's coming to my town

in February, and we already have tickets! I think she is utterly fantastic.

[Scarsdale]

24. Maybe she taste tests

all the fast food tRump orders?

[OnlinePoker]

10. Sarah Huckabee Slanders makes me miss Sean Spicer

At least with him, you knew you had a Baghdad Bob situation and could pretty much agree that everything that came out of his mouth was a figment of his and Donny's imagination. Sanders comes across like she's trying to be truthful, which is nearly impossible when you have an administration that is as corrupt as the Trump Clown Car.

[Racerdog1]

13. New job

Going to the Mexican border, stand there, be a big part of tRumps wall.

[LakeSuperiorView]

15. Wish I could not do my job for 20 days at time, show up late, leave early and still get paid.

Aren't we due a refund on her wages?

[Ccarmona]

[Maxheader]

19. Her wiki reads like a typical rightwinger upbringing..

[Cold War Spook]

21. I do not think it is illegal to lie to the press.

If it was, then almost all politicians would be arrested after being on Meet the Press or other news shows.

[BaronChocula]

23. ..."she repeatedly cut off answers and signaled that they were 'short on time'."

Yeah, Sarah. You have no idea how short on time you are.

[JDC]

27. She is on her way out. No question in my mind

And soon.

[Paladin]

28. She can't be gone soon enough to suit me. (NT)

[rurallib]

36. Didn't she announce she was leaving at the end of the year

or was I having a good dream?

Look for Mick Mulvaney to take her place.

[Paladin]

43. I don't believe anything she says. (nt)

[rurallib]

35. She'll become an evangelical preacher like her daddy and go on fleecing the sheep

Maybe she and daddy can start their own soul-saving network.

Thoughts and prayers, Sarah.
