A lot of reporters who attend Sarah Sanders press briefings have long been frustrated by the way she dodges questions or delivers the same form answers time and again, but Thursday marked something different, more serious. Sanders herself admitted she was blindsided by Rudy Giuliani’s information that Donald Trump repaid Stormy Daniels hush money. From the podium in the White House briefing room, Sanders has long denied that Trump knew about the payments.

This raises the questions:

  • Did Sanders truly NOT know Trump repaid the money?
  • Did Sanders know about the repayment and knowingly lie to the public about it?

Either scenario doesn’t bode well for the Press Secretary.

This is even raising eyebrows with some Republican lawmakers.

Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) said:

“I guess at some point you have to ask the question, how does Sarah Huckabee Sanders go to work every day if she was sent out there to mislead the American people?”

CNN’s Chris Cillizza says:

“Admitting that you misled the press because the President misled you is tantamount to taking your credibility, pouring gasoline on it and then setting it on fire.
The Point: A boss who would not only mislead you but also do so knowing full well you would then put your credibility on the line publicly to defend that misinformation, is a boss no one should be willing to work for. That includes Sarah Sanders.”
