2. 'Donald Trump started this': ABC host goes ballistic on Sarah Huckabee Sanders wiretapping spin
Sun Mar 5, 2017, 11:47 AM
Mar 2017

White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday defended President Donald Trump’s assertion that former President Barack Obama ordered a wiretap of Trump’s phones — but she provided no evidence to back up the claim.

During an interview on ABC News, host Martha Raddatz pointed out that Trump had insisted that it was a “fact” that his phones had been monitored by the former president without offering proof.

“The New York Times, the BBC have also talked about and reported on the potential of this having had happened,” Sanders said. “All we’re saying is let’s take a closer look. Let’s look into this. If this happened, if this is accurate, this is the biggest overreach.”

“If, if, if, if, if!” Raddatz exclaimed. “Why is the president saying it did happen?”

"’It's called a ‘wrap-up smear,'” she continued. “You make up something then you have the press write about it, then you say ‘everybody is writing about it.’ It’s a charge. It’s a tool of an authoritarian, to just have them talking about what you want them to be talking about. Rather than Russia, we’re talking about President Obama. And then to take it to the Congress and say, ‘Now you investigate this,’ when he’s in favor of Congress of investigating anything but what do the Russians have on Donald Trump, politically, financially or personally."

So-called "Christian" Sarah Huckabee Sanders ought to be ashamed of herself for aiding and abetting that despicable lying pervert in bearing false witness against a good and honorable man.

And she should know better than to repeatedly say "B.S." on network television. Ugh, I can't stand her voice either.

10. Martha why didn't you go for the juggler on this person and ask this question:
Sun Mar 5, 2017, 12:19 PM
Mar 2017

Why was Wilbur Ross from the Bank of Cyprus just confirmed as the "new" Sec. Commerce, when he more than likely knew that Putin and his cronies were laundering money through "his bank?"

But you had to go with this person good old Sarah Huckabee (is she related to the snake oil salesman Mike Huckabee) to help her deflect what is happening behind the scene. But the public has down below you on your screen the following
"One -on One with White House Spokesperson" and then below that "White House's First Response"

Were the questions canned to be limited in scope or no one was going to appear?

Here, Martha let me show you what a reporter did on connecting the dots, instead of hearing some gambit of rambling and deflection of right wing BS.

Here is something of interest that should have been asked to this "White House Spokesperson" don't you think, here it is:

I want to hear her response to the above question!

and his baseless accusations?

How kooky could it go? Trump accusing Obama of ordering tracking devices to be injected during flu vaccines? Would people still scramble to defend the idea and call for investigations? Good grief.

That tells me that Trump can say just about anything and it's supported or forgiven by them.

I'm guessing she is Huckabee's daughter.

Isn't this unpresidented to have this many spokespersons?

Well, interesting when it becomes fake news when it doesn't favour the president, the only difference is that when it doesn'ty favour the president it is because its true.

Why do these "journalists" let these people get away with saying stupidity like that? All administrations do try to to change the stories, but this new administration are the champions of misleading and lying, and whenever the story doesn't fit their agenda, then it becomes fake news..."The Art of Hypocrisy"

The Alt Right have been practicing for years, decades in honing their craft. Their confident expressions and speech. Their incredulous looks projecting "how can anyone not believe me!". Their perfect timing of interrupting at just the right second when they are in danger of being painted into a corner, and blabbing on until the 'journalist' has forgotten the original question. But mostly being able to lower the bar and make that low bar acceptable by treating guests like this as if they are honestly there to further the truth.

And yet we give her air time? This is how low the media has sunk. This jack ass, smirky, dodge-ball artist (and not very good at it) wants to bring up these hair brained conspiracy theories from president bannon and his sock puppet...."Hey, let's say the last REAL President wire tapped you...and have THEM prove he didn't." Great distraction for fox and the reich wingers. Now they can say "both sides do it", or whatever the hell they want to say.

Nothing but a weak kneed distraction for the simple minded dRumpf fan club. Not going to work. We are a nation of morons....but not all of us.
