The White House press briefing has been relegated to history. Sarah Sanders only press appearances are on Fox News, and it’s a sad day for our country that this is considered a good thing.
She spun the administration line like so many before her but after the Mueller investigation revealed that she lied to reporters, Sanders became a pariah to the press corps. There’s a difference between spin and lies.
But Sanders, whose credibility rating is somewhere near her boss, returned to the Sunday talk show circuit this morning with an appearance on Meet The Press. She was forced to defend Donald Trump, who had tweeted that the North Korean dictator has agreed with the president that Joe Biden was a “low IQ individual.”
TODD: “Can you explain why Americans should not be concerned that the president of United States is essentially siding with a murderous authoritarian dictator over a former vice president in the United States?”
SANDERS: “Chuck, the president’s not siding with that. But I think they agree in their assessment of former Vice President Joe Biden. Again, the president’s focus in this process is the relationship he has and making sure we continue on the path towards denuclearization. … The president watched [Biden] and his administration with President Obama fail for eight years. He’s come in in two and a half, he’s cleaned up a lot of the messes that were left behind. We shouldn’t even be in the position that we’re in to have to deal with North Korea at the level we are if they had done their job in the first place.”
And this is some of the reaction from the Twittersphere.
