Trump Press Secretary Sarah Sanders Is Leaving the White House

The embattled press secretary will return to Arkansas, according to President Donald Trump.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders is leaving her post, President Donald Trump tweeted on Thursday.

"After 3 1/2 years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas," the president wrote. "She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job! I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas - she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well done!"

After 3 1/2 years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas….

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 13, 2019

Sanders, who is the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), assumed the role after Sean Spicer's departure in July 2017, making her one of the longest-serving members on Trump's staff. Her tenure was marked by an adversarial relationship with the press and allegations that she lied or skewed reality to defend Trump's off-the-cuff remarks and erratic decisions. The Mueller report confirmed that Sanders categorically lied when she claimed that FBI employees had told her the "rank-and-file of the FBI had lost confidence in" then-FBI Director James Comey:

"I've heard from countless members of the FBI that are grateful and thankful for the president's decision," Sanders said from the podium. "And I think that we may have to agree to disagree. I'm sure that there are some people that are disappointed, but I certainly heard from a large number of individuals—and that's just myself—and I don't even know that many people in the FBI."

Sanders later told Mueller's team that her remark was a "slip of the tongue."

In recent months, Sanders has all but stopped holding White House briefings. "A lot of the times when we don't come to the podium it's because the president has addressed the American people himself," White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told Fox News in January. Trump echoed those sentiments, adding that "the press covers her so rudely & inaccurately," so he "told her not to bother."

Trump has yet to name Sanders' replacement.

I liked her. She was feisty.

[SQRLSY One]

Butt she got SOOOO tired of changing the diapers of the spoiled brat known as The Donald!!!!

[Woodchipper of the Apocalypse]

You know I've been thinking about this recently as a lurker who enjoys reading the comments: Who is the worst commenter at reason?

You may be surprised to learn that it's you.

You are worse than the obvious trolls like the Rev, Buttplug, and Tony. They're clearly here just to rile people up, so it's hard to totally hate their commentary, despite the fact they never add anything of value to the discussion. Then there are the clear partisans, like John, Chipper, Tupla, Last of the Shitlords, and Old Mexican, who post interesting comments from time to time in between calling each other names.

Then there is the worst category: the boring partisans. Specifically, loveconstitution, and you. And between the two of you it's close. You both are boring and predictable. But I'm giving you the edge because your comments are just more juvenile and often incomprehensible. Many of them read like they were written by a teenage girl who is just a little slow.

So congrats! Thought I'd let you know.

[Last of the Shitlords]

My only objection to your comment is that you mention me in the same breath as Old Mexican. And maybe being a bit hard on LC.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

You like her because she's a half-educated, bigoted, mendacious slack-jaw.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Nonsense. That's why we like you.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

Hey! Who are you calling half educated?

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

I described the Ouachita Baptist graduate as half-educated.

[Titanian]

Of course you did, you have the vocabulary of a slime mold, and you rely on a small handful of crutches like "half-educated" to give the appearance of erudition.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Open wider, clinger.

[R Mac]

You’re fantasies are weird bigot.

[Titanian]

I'm sorry I said what everyone knows about you. It was gauche of me but Iyamwatiyam.

[Titanian]

"Open wider, clinger"

"you rely on a small handful of crutches like “half-educated” to give the appearance of erudition."

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

The bot known as "Kirkland" has a narrow and ill-defined markov chaining.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Arthur the remedial left-wing troll hates women!

Reeeee!

[Titanian]

In this thread, I violate the 13th Amendment on a certain ersatz thelogian.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Especially considering how nasty the press was with her.

[Dillinger]

embattled because people were dicks.

[Tony]

You people are so fucking pathetic it makes me cringe.

[Dillinger]

Binion's choice of word embattled = me fucking pathetic

[Tony]

People should be dicks to the White House press secretary. It's called freedom. Remember when you cared about that over the tinpot farce you're waving your little orange book at in undying support?

[Dillinger]

>>>People should be dicks to the White House press secretary

cool. so how is what I said wrong or indicative of my level of pathos?

>>>the tinpot farce

good name for a sting movie.

[XM]

Remember, freedom allows us to be dicks to WH press secretary and a mostly white American sports team can troll a lesser team of color after scoring 13 goals on them, but we can't go to a Cinco de Mayo party wearing a sombrero. No, that's an affront to humanity.

What about a Chinese restaurant ran by whites? Forget about it. Only Asian people can make American fusion food that didn't originate from their culture.

[Tony]

I can't tell if you're expressing real grievances, which would be sad and embarrassing, or if you're parodying people who have nothing better to do with their time than bitch about racial PC standards.

[Last of the Shitlords]

Or just treating you as the piece of shit you truly are Tony. You progtarded scum are jut nasty uncivilized creatures.

[Rufus The Monocled]

I somehow doubt you thought this during Barry's splendidly over meh eight year kick at the can. You woulda been all like 'yeh but decorum' and some other nonsense.

[Tony]

You somehow doubt, but I am absolutely certain that you are so incurious that you can't tell the difference between a good presidential administration and a bad one, which is the best-case scenario, because what's really true is that you think the (R) turns your brain into robotic slavish mush.

[Last of the Shitlords]

Tony you are a narcissistic sociopath. You have no values and no ability to discern them in others. Obama was an evil president. Trump appears to be trying to do good things. Those of us with brains who are not delusional agree with some of it.

You are the one in thrall to a political party, not us.

[damikesc]

And she should be a dick back to the reporters.

Which she was. Thank God.

Stop pretending that they are not Democrat operatives.

[Last of the Shitlords]

I was waiting for her to take her microphone and beat Acosta senseless with it. Kind of like....... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yWu1EAtnOco

[Titanian]

So leave then faggot.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Stay, Tulsa. I enjoy watching your preferences get stomped by your betters. Never gets old, not even after half a century of putting clingers in their place.

[R Mac]

My preferences are alive and well. I’m pretty fucking happy bigot. (As I sip my beer, hit my legal bowl, and stare out at my acres of woods). Bigot.

[Titanian]

Ahahaha look how mad you are about losing ahahahahahahah

[Tony]

You have serious psychological issues, don't you? Are you being treated?

[Entropic Principle]

Do not name a replacement. There is no need for this garbage if your president is on Twitter. And anyway they all lie for their boss so who cares.

[Tony]

Chief propagandist for the United States presidency. Poor girl. She was feisty. People were mean to her.

--Members of the most antigovernment philosophy this side of anarchism

[loveconstitution1789]

No wonder the propagandists love going to White House and grabbing mics from interns.

[Esmeralda Overdrive]

Honestly, your commitment to getting the commentariat to own up to the vast gulf between their stated and revealed preferences is as noble as it is futile.

[Titanian]

I'm going to bust out an old trope and point out that the commentariat is not a single person. It is from this that we can decide how stupid a person is for pretending otherwise.

[Esmeralda Overdrive]

Fair enough. It's wrong to assert that all libertarians, say, like only the color orange when there are so many variations. Other colors like papaya whip, peach, apricot, melon, atomic tangerine, tea rose, vermilion, persimmon, bittersweet shimmer and more are all on display here at Hit & Run.

[Titanian]

So the answer would be "very."

[Esmeralda Overdrive]

I am hurt less by your insult than by the the absence of effort it took. Indifference is such cruelty, no?

[Titanian]

It was your answer, not mine.

[Titanian]

"Esmeralda Overdrive"

And what's with the dumb name? You trying for some gay ass take on Gibson?

[Esmeralda Overdrive]

Oh, so Mr. Theosophy is doesn't like my name? Tis indeed a grave matter.

[Titanian]

Lol you WERE!!!

[Titanian]

"Vermilion (sometimes spelled vermillion) is a brilliant red or scarlet pigment"

Unless of course you included in your list of colors a city in Ohio.

[Tony]

I do have a certain quixotic nature to me.

[Last of the Shitlords]

No, you’re just a progtarded queen.

[Hank Phillips]

Do they train you folks to conflate anti-aggression with anarchism?

[phillhamian]

at least she wasn't smarmy like that last jack ass under Obama. They are all obnoxious in their own way, but that guy was a special kind of asshole

[Tony]

Maybe but he didn't lie every time he said a sentence.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

You're going to need a citation there, Low T. But even assuming this statement is true, Obama's lies were far more substantive and impactful.

“There is no spying on Americans.”

“More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States.”

“We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book.”

“If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor; if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan.”

And don't even get me started on Obama's false promises used to justify his troop surge in Afghanistan, which lead to more than a thousand dead American troops with nothing to show for the sacrifice, and bombing Libya, which now has slave markets.

[SIV]

You left out "not one thin dime".

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

I left out ALOT.

[Last of the Shitlords]

Or that smidgen of corruption that didn’t exist in his scandal filled administration.

[Incredulous]

Obama was ten times the liar Trump is and he told bigger lies.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Uninformed right-wing bigots are among my favorite faux libertarians.

[Titanian]

No one cares about your preference in tricks and rough trade.

[Tony]

*blinks incredulously*

[TGoodchild]

Very tough job, unless your boss was Obama; then, it was like one of those bars in Thailand that several Reason commentators frequent where the waitresses give you serial hand jobs under the bar.

[loveconstitution1789]

Chicks with dicks.

Its hillary in a nutshell

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Just what Arkansas needs to overcome generations of bright flight -- one more intolerant, old-timey slack-jaw waving an Ouachita Baptist deploma.

(That's a deplorable diploma.)

[phillhamian]

You're moving to Arkansas?

[Agammamon]

What is worse - that you can't spell 'diploma' or that you can't use spellcheck correctly?

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

I think you missed the yoke.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Great comment, Agammamon.

[Titanian]

Ahahah you mad!!

Here's a cape so you can be supermad!!!

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Mad. Making fun of right-wing dullards is fun

[Titanian]

"Mad"

Ahahah and that proves it ahahahahaha

[Unicorn Abattoir]

How long before Trump calls her a 'total lightweight' on twitter?

[Jerryskids]

Rumor has it Sanders will be replaced by John Miller.

[Dillinger]

probably bored announcing the Giants' daily losses

[Ken Shultz]

Now what will we do?!

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

"A lot of the times when we don't come to the podium it's because the president has addressed the American people himself,"

This is kind of true. I mean with Twitter, why does any administration need a press secretary?

[Square = Circle]

Yeah - especially when she has to spend so much time backpedaling things she says that he then contradicts on Twitter.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Exactly, the system contradicts itself, why add a middle man?

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

Manu Raju tweets: "[T]he last WH press briefing was 94 days ago, the longest stretch of time. In the pass (sic) 100 days, only one White House briefing was held. In the past 200 days, only four briefings were held. In the past 300 days, 8 briefings were held."

So, yeah, to your point, was the press secretary even necessary?

[Last of the Shitlords]

The press certainly isn’t.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

In today's fun Twitter news, blue checkmarks from Vox are dumber than trump.

[Rufus The Monocled]

/face palm.

[NashTiger]

But, are tariffs still bad? No word on this for over 8 hours, I'm beginning to get confused

[Titanian]

Ask Mexico ????????.

[Hank Phillips]

So, moving on to Sara's replacement... how about Ted Haggard? Carly Fiorina?

[Real Books]

Ann Coulter?

[Marcus Aurelius]

John Cleese?

[Last of the Shitlords]

Maybe Sebastian Gorka. He’s already good at slapping Jimmy Acosta around.

[Echospinner]

So Canada beat us in basketball.

It is over.

[Marcus Aurelius]

But 13-0 vs Toyland!
