http://dailycaller.com/2018/04/27/sarah-sanders-prayer-press-briefing/The Puzzle of Sarah Huckabee Sanders
How a bright, competent and likable young operative became the face of the most duplicitous press operation in White House history.

Some reporters will outright call Sanders a liar. Others are more reluctant to break out the L-word but still become frustrated at the way she regularly obfuscates and bends the truth. Whereas Spicer was known for big blowups, reporters say that with Sanders it feels more like a million small things. Theres almost sometimes an exhaustion writing the stories of the daily briefing because the number of things she says that are patently false are too many to let your story be weighed down with them, one White House reporter says.
Here is a highly incomplete list of Sanders misadventures with the truth:
August 2, 2017: Said Trump didnt lie when he claimed the Mexican president called to praise his immigration policies, or when he said leaders from the Boy Scouts of America called to praise a speech he gave at the National Scout Jamboree. (Neither call had occurred.)
November 1, 2017: Said immigrants entering the United States on diversity visas arent vetted. (They are.)
November 2, 2017: Denied that Trump called the U.S. justice system a joke. (Hours earlier, Trump said of the justice system, What we have right now, its a joke and its a laughingstock.)
February 20, 2018: Said, The president hasnt said that Russia didnt meddle. (He has.)
March 27, 2018: Said there has been a citizenship question included in every census since 1965, with the exception of 2010, when it was removed. (No citizenship question has appeared on the full census form since 1950.)
Sanders declined to comment for this article. But both her husband and father say that any characterization of her as a liar is unfair. All I know is that Sarah is never going to do anything that violates her conscience, Bryan Sanders says. Shes never been asked to do something that violates her conscience.

You did that on your own, or the voices in your head, or Daddy- he's good at it, or maybe it was that Russian guy with the vial of polonium.
Jeebus did not make you into the monster that you are. Stop invoking his name in the midst of all the evil that you do.

John 8:44:
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
No where does Jesus state that it's allowed to tell political lies. A liar belongs to the devil, Trump lies a hundred times a day easy, Fox "news" people lie a hundred times a day, Hate radio lies a million times a day 24/7/365, the whole damned republican party is based on LIES and they all belong to the DEVIL!
How these people go to church every Sunday and play at being a Christian then lie the other 6 days a week just blows my mind!
