Sarah Huckabee’s lies and Trump’s lies are catching up with them both. Huckabee now looks more like Stormy Daniels than a press secretary: just another porn star twisting in the wind.
As the Washington Post reported, “Asked Thursday about these comments and the White House’s general trustworthiness, Sanders did not even try to put a good face on it or square her comments with our newly discovered reality. Instead, she essentially suggested Trump has misled her.”
“We give the very best information that we have at the time,” she said, later repeating a version of that phrase several times.
We have seen claims of ignorance from behind the White House press briefing room’s podium before. That was the case in the aftermath of the botched explanations for FBI director James B. Comey’s firing. Sanders also offered a version of this when her explanations of the Rob Porter fiasco fell apart.
“We’re giving you the best information that we’re going to have,” Sanders said then, echoing what she said Thursday. “Obviously the press team’s not going to be as read-in, maybe, as some other elements, at a given moment, on a variety of topics. But we relay the best and most accurate information that we have, and we get those from those individuals.”
The difference in this case, though, is it is not “those individuals” who provided the information; it was Trump. This was not Sanders blaming anonymous or indecipherable White House aides for the botched response; she clearly said in March she was relying upon a conversation she had had with Trump

Sarah Huckabee the worst person in the world? I don’t think so although her professional lying for a world class liar is hardly surprising. I don’t have much sympathy for Ms. Huckabee, but I can think of a dozen world leaders and groups (ISIS) who are making this world a terrible place for millions of people. Sarah may be in the barrel with a lot of awful people, but she is at the bottom in my book. Peace.
Do oaths mean anything?
Just thinking out loud as I think Americas enemies are all domestic
that is truth in the midst of our enemies chatter
love says this
you shall know them by me
no other way
the Evangelical I could be
truth of course
is local
love overcomes there

They really know how to shoot out their lip and shake their head. All the songs we sang as kids about “if my people will … humble themselves.”. But isn’t it one of the most difficult tests of character – to accept that you’ve been lied to, that you’r e living a lie, that you’ve melted your gold to make a golden calf, etc. etc. That they’ve been given over to a depraved mind.
