An epitaph for the Sarah Sanders era: She would gladly sacrifice core elements of democratic society to protect Trump

At Politico’s “Women Rule” event in late 2018, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who President Trump announced Thursday would soon be leaving her position as White House press secretary, said that she hoped her legacy would be as a person who was, “transparent and honest throughout that process” and did “everything I could to make America a little better that day than it was the day before.”

Of course, given the sheer volume and magnitude of lies Sanders and her boss have inflicted on the U.S. population over the years, it’s hard now not to laugh at these words. Most recently, Sanders claimed that she had heard from “countless…individuals who work at the FBI who said they were very happy” with the firing of James Comey. It should go without saying that Sanders simply made that up. When offering testimony under oath to the Mueller investigation, Sanders openly admitted that her statement “was not founded on anything.”

“Not Founded on Anything.” I can’t think of a better epitaph to trademark for the Sarah Huckabee Sanders era at the White House. Actually, I can’t think of a better epitaph for the Trump administration in general.
