White House Reporters Shout at Sarah Sanders For Short Briefing: 'Do Your Job!'


by Caleb Ecarma | Dec 18th, 2018, 3:04 pm

A couple of White House reporters shouted at press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders after she left an exceptionally short press briefing today.

“This was a ten-minute briefing, Sarah!” Exclaimed NBC White House reporter Kristen Welker, while Breakfast Media White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg shouted at the flack to “do your job!” — a comment he took credit for on Twitter.




Sanders appeared on the stage for roughly 15 minutes, building on a trend of short pressers.

Her diminishing time in front of the White House podium even spawned the following festive headline from the Washington Post last month: “A turkey has spent more time on-camera in the briefing room this month than the press secretary.”

The press secretary recently defended the White House’s lack of briefings, telling Fox News Sunday, “I always think if you can hear directly from the president, and the press has a chance to ask the president of the United States questions directly, that’s infinitely better than talking to me.”

“We try to do that a lot, and you’ve seen us do that a lot over the past three weeks, and that’s going to take the place of a press briefing when you can talk to the president of the United States,” she added.

Gee it was just last week when Trump (and his sidekick Mr. Excitement) let the press hang around in the Oval. How'd that work out?

With the government about to be shut down thanks to the Republicans, maybe Sarah's paycheck is on the chopping block? Didja ever think of that, huh? You expect her to work for free like some low-level functionary living paycheck to paycheck? How will she be able to afford to go out to restaurants for comped appetizers? Ya heartless bastards!
