Sanders On Stormy Daniels Threats: WH Concerned About Safety Of 'Any Person'

Source: Talking Points Memo



By Caitlin MacNeal | March 16, 2018 2:56 pm

Asked about claims that porn actress Stephanie Clifford, who uses the stage name Stormy Daniels, was physically threatened in order to keep quiet about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee on Friday said that the White House does not condone any threats.

“Obviously we take the safety and security of any person seriously, certainly would condemn anyone threatening any individual,” Sanders said.

She would not address alleged threats made to Clifford, however, and referred reporters to Trump’s outside legal counsel.

“I have no knowledge of that situation,” she said, adding that she hasn’t spoken to Trump about the matter.

WH: Kelly Told Staff Friday Morning Not To Worry About Losing Their Jobs

By Nicole Lafond | March 16, 2018 3:07 pm

Chief of staff John Kelly reassured White House staffers Friday morning that there were not going to be any personnel changes “at this time,” according to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

The reassurance came amid reports of a planned staff shakeup and comments from President Donald Trump this week suggesting there “will always be change” in the White House. On Friday, Sanders told reporters about the meeting, in which she said Kelly told staff they “shouldn’t be concerned” about their jobs.

“We should do exactly what we do every day and that’s to come to work and do the very best that we can,” she said. “That’s exactly what we’re focused on and many of us have relayed that to staffers that weren’t part of that meeting.”

NBC News’ Peter Alexander pressed her further, citing Trump’s own comments this week indicating further staff turnover: “We’re getting very close to having the Cabinet and other things that I want.”

that if any of his supporters were arrested for assaulting a protester, he would pay their legal fees?

(Not that he would have actually paid up, of course.)

She was in human resources for a company. The company wasn't doing well, so they laid off some people. Then a few weeks later, they laid off more people, but they promised the rest were safe. Then it turned out the company was cooking the books, so they fired the CEO and a bunch of others including my ex. Then the company folded a few months later.

Sure she's one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet, claiming to value her Christian faith while daily defending the most vile perverse yet powerful antiChristian leader on the planet.

But there must be a tolerance level even for her at some point no? Just being a woman and a human being?
