Sarah Huckabee Sanders was back in the saddle yesterday for another fun press briefing at the White House. She comes back a day or so after rumors have been circulating that she plans to leave her job by the end of this year. The rumors started from a CNN report.
Before we get to the outburst that ensued during yesterday's meeting, Sarah did address these rumors through a tweet stating:
A reporter did bring up the question to Sarah again during yesterday's presser and she personally stated that she has no plans to leave the White House. That wasn't the only interesting thing brought up yesterday at the briefing. CNN journalist Jim Acosta (who is known for butting heads with Sarah), brought up the topic of immigration and specifically Attorney General Jeff Sessions' comments on how he cited the Bible when defending some of our immigration policies. Huckabee claimed she was not aware of Sessions' specific comment and what he was referencing but that it's very "biblical to enforce the law". It was from there that the usual ensued of Acosta interupting Sarah, she got annoyed and made a sly comment saying, "I know it's hard for you to understand even short sentences..."
That was just the preshow for the fireworks that were to come though. Another CNN analyst jumped it on immigration and got very fired up. He had a bizarre, inappropriate outburst and actually used Sarah's children as an example to attack her on immigration policies. He took it way too far...I'm embarassed for him...
Sarah had her work cut out for her yesterday for sure. Every once in a while there are those press briefings that just take the cake. At one point Huckabee was even asked about Rudy Giuliani's love life. Yes, you heard me right. You can't make this stuff up! She answered the love life question to the likes of many chuckles, saying: "Not today, tomorrow, or ever will I comment on Rudy Giuliani's love life".
You can watch the full press briefing from yesterday below. It's quite entertaining.
