After President Donald Trump’s recent tweet justifying the infrequency of White House press briefings, his press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders criticized some reporters’ decorum. In an interview on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday, she suggested that reporters often seek to boost their profiles during the briefings. “We’re in the business of getting information to the American people, not making stars out of people that want to become contributors on CNN,” she said. “And that’s, a lot of times, what we see take place in the briefing room.”“We’re more than happy to take questions, but we think that there should be a certain level of decorum and a certain level of honesty and responsibility that comes with that,” she added.It’s unclear who Sanders was referring to, but her tense relationship with the press has been the subject of many news stories. In June she notably went head … [Read more...] about Sarah Huckabee Sanders defends lack of press briefings

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: We’re Not Listening To ‘Much Of Anything’ Ocasio-Cortez Says
POLITICS 01/23/2019 01:17 am ET The press secretary suggested the congresswoman's recent climate change warning wasn't worth hearing. By Amy Russo Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was elected just last November, but White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is already making it clear that the Trump administration isn’t interested in what she has to say. Responding to the congresswoman’s recent claim that “the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change,” Sanders brushed off the warning, appearing to invoke religion as the real deciding factor when it comes to Earth’s future. “I don’t think we’re going to listen to her on much of anything, particularly not on matters that ... we’re going to leave into the hands of a much, much higher authority and certainly not listen to the freshman congresswoman on when the world may end,” she told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in … [Read more...] about Sarah Huckabee Sanders: We’re Not Listening To ‘Much Of Anything’ Ocasio-Cortez Says

Fox News Host Presses Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Her ‘Inflated Figures’ of Border Terrorist Apprehensions
U.S. Fox News, which is typically less critical of the Trump administration than other major networks, is not letting White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders off easy for the “inflated figures” she disseminated about the number of suspected terrorists that have been apprehended at the border with Mexico. The discussion stems from Sanders’ appearance on Fox News Sunday when she stood by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s claim that thousands of “special interest aliens” have been stopped at the border and elaborated, “We know that, roughly, nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is at our southern border.” Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt put Sanders on the spot about her statement on Wednesday. “Sarah, there were some discrepancies with some numbers,” Earhardt said. “You had said that border … [Read more...] about Fox News Host Presses Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Her ‘Inflated Figures’ of Border Terrorist Apprehensions
Sarah Huckabee Sanders Says Putin Isn’t Happy About Syria Decision, After He Said He Was, Claims ‘It Puts Them at Greater Risk’
World International Affairs White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday that it’s ludicrous to assume that Russia is happy that the U.S. is pulling its troops out of Syria. "The idea that Putin is happy about this is ridiculous," Sanders said when asked about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reaction to the news that the U.S. will no longer have a presence in the war-torn country. "It puts them at a greater risk," she added, "so I think that's just silly." President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the U.S. had defeated the Islamic State, which was the only reason the country had around 2,000 troops in Syria. Experts were quick to point out that the Islamic State has not been defeated in the Middle East, and that the U.S. withdrawal could make it easier for the group to regain strength and territory. Others noted that Russia and Iran, both of which have a strong military foothold in Syria, would be the ultimate beneficiaries of the decision.
