Sarah Sanders hides from scandals with only 1 press briefing in 79 days

[ffr]

The White House has only briefed the press once in 2019 as they attempt to hide from tough questions about Trump's failures.

White House Press Secretary Sanders has only held one press briefing in 2019, even as continued revelations about criminal and unethical by Trump and his inner circle have emerged.

The last White House briefing was January 28. There were no briefings in the entire month of February, and there have been none in March.

The lack of briefings appears to be a deliberate strategy to evade uncomfortable questions.
<snip>

These include:

Congressional testimony from Trump's former personal lawyer and fixer revealing details of Trump's actions to violate federal law, his racism, and overall ignorant and unethical behavior;
Trump's decision to stonewall Congressional investigations into his violations of national security and ethical guidelines, including possible criminal acts;
Anger from Americans after their tax refunds shrunk thanks to the GOP tax scam.
Trump and Republicans presiding over an increase in the national debt after promising for years to lower it;
Trump's humiliating failure on the world stage as he was fooled once again by North Korea;
A new election being ordered in North Carolina after the Republican candidate he supported got caught in an election fraud scandal;
Trump's Homeland Security Secretary justifying children being put in cages.
Trump's invocation of a phony "national emergency" of constitutionally dubious validity to build his racist border wall;
Trump's hypocrisy in commenting on anti-Semitism while he has offered praise of Nazis;

And much, much more. - ShareBlue

1. Why are we paying her? Shouldn't she reimburse the taxpayers?

[TreasonousBastard]

2. Why have one liar brief the press once a week when...

The Liar-in-Chief briefs the nation by tweet every day, all day.

[DemKittyNC]

3. Why?

Are we paying her? Can the people not get a refund on this liar? What is her job exactly now? Also, is she STILL receiving Secret Service protection? Or were we meant to forget about that by now with scandals presenting themselves every 5 mins of ever damn day of this horrid administration?!!

[marble falls]

4. How do I get a job where I only have to show up once in 79 days for a couple of hours ...

be snotty, indirect and misleading.

A BA in mass communications from Ouachita Baptist University?

Interesting fact: OBU has 55% women student population. Pretty progressive for Baptists.

[Ilsa]

9. I think the college bookstore issues

Chastity belts with books. Helps keep the daddies happy.

[The Genealogist]

5. Maybe she is just tired

I'm sure telling non-stop lies all away wears a person down, even a professional bullshit factory like Chuckleberry Huxter.

[gratuitous]

6. Don't be mean, though

The media would just hate to lose their access by filing stories critical of the administration. To which the reply needs to be, what access? Nobody speaks on the record, there are no press briefings, and anything that gets aired or published that even hints at being critical draws relentless fire from Fox in defense of their king.

7. #BeWorst , Sarah

[Ohiogal]

8. She's about as useful and hard working as the FLOTUS .....

[Firestorm49]

10. What the hell is she getting paid for?

[BigmanPigman]

11. I asked this a few weeks ago and was told she can't find work

so we are stuck with her. She was supposed to leave over a month ago but no employers will touch her with a 10' pole. Gee, I wonder why?

[edbermac]

12. I've said it before...

Sarah reminds me of the circus worker following the elephants with a shovel.

[magicarpet]

25. Or a dung bag...

[JDC]

13. Wow. 1 in 79 days. Liars and cowards all.

[sandensea]

14. Glad the old girl decided to give our eyes a good rest.

[NurseJackie]

15. So bad!

So funny!

[sandensea]

16. Why, thank you.

It is what it is.

[struggle4progress]

17. "People keep lying about Donald! They say he's been married three times!

They say he started a fake university! They say he brags about sexually assaulting women! It's not true! And it makes my job so hard!"

[DirtEdonE]

18. Personally speaking, and I know this is going to sound harsh

I hope the huckabeast is indicted and convicted then separated from her children like the victims she vilifies at our southern border.

I won't say I want her children to be placed in cages but if they were I wouldn't protest.

Sometimes Hammurabi's code is the only thing these "people" understand.

[Blue_Tires]

19. This should be much bigger news

Hell, Hillary had a "Days since last press conference" tally from the news and she was just a goddamned candidate...

[DoctorJoJo]

20. Looks to Me Like She Has Been Hiding In a Dunkin Donut Shop!!

[Brother Buzz]

21. I understood she was going to hang up her spurs at the end of 2018

I'm guessing she hasn't officially vacated the position because nobody else wants the gig.

[shanny]

23. and apparently nobody else will give her a job.

Sad.

[Brother Buzz]

24. She can fall back on her own consulting firm

She and her husband founded Second Street Strategies in 2016, but it sorta got idled when she landed the White House gig

Second Street Strategies does general consulting services, including strategy, research, polling, message development, and advertising production and placement for candidates, independent expenditure committees, businesses, and non-profits.

[shanny]

22. well to be fair I thought she was resigning as of the end of last year

maybe she kinda did. As they say, "not enough money in the world...."

[dalton99a]

26. That's a hell of a lot of taxpayer-paid executive time

Goddamn grifter

[crazytown]

27. She briefs Fox and Friends now instead

Which is what her boss cares about.

[Evolve Dammit]

28. In the complete chaos we are experiencing, no one even notices. That's how bad this is.
