Sarah Sanders lied again and again for Trump. Now she's got her teeth into John Bolton

[marmar]

(Guardian UK) Donald Trump may not like reading, but he has inspired a lot of people to take up writing. Anyone remotely connected to the president appears to have an exposé of the Trump administration forthcoming. That includes Sarah Sanders, the former White House press secretary; her book, Speaking for Myself, will be released later this year.

Sanders has remained loyal to the president; instead, she directs barbs at the former national security adviser John Bolton, who most certainly has not. In an extract of her book given to the politics site Axios, she describes Bolton as being “drunk on power” and forgetting that “nobody elected him to anything”.

It is a shame Sanders has written a memoir, because she has a talent for fiction. During her two-year tenure as press secretary, Sanders proved herself a smooth and shameless liar. She maintained a straight face while arguing that Trump, who has repeatedly glorified violence, had never encouraged violence against anyone. She claimed that Trump’s firing of the FBI director, James Comey, had support from “countless members of the FBI”, before admitting under oath that this statement “was not founded on anything”. .............(more)

1. How ironic, no one elected Hucklenuts either.

Drunk with power or just drunk.

2. Actually, she's probably telling the truth about Bolton.

He's an egomaniacal asshole just like his former boss. I think Bolton was telling the truth in his book, but the other thing that was obvious about it is that Bolton thought he was right about everything and everybody else was stupid; Trump was just dumber and weirder than everybody else.

5. Another RW nutjob memoir you'll be able to pick up for free and use as a doorstop

by signing up at Newsmax, and will probably end up on the NYT bestseller list with an asterisk after it because the RNC will buy it by the case and hand it out at the convention.
