Comedian Michelle Wolf didnt spare Sanders, who she said she loved, and then destroyed.
Every time Sarah steps up to the podiumI get excited because Im not sure what were going to get, she said. A press briefing, a bunch of lies, or divided into softball teams.
Sanders remained stone-faced through the roughly 90 seconds where Wolf razzed her.
Im never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders, she said. Is it Sarah Sanders? Is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Is it Cousin Huckabee? Is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders? Whats Uncle Tom, but for white women who disappoint other white women?

(3,515 posts)She tries to do her job, but she doesn't realize that every day, she hurts people with her lies and servile attitude toward Trump and Trumpism. She needs to stand up for what is right, for freedom of the press and for once, she needs to tell the truth and respect the reporters.
She was very sad. She was near tears. Did she deserve it???
She will never be able to agree that maybe she did, that maybe she is just as harsh and mean in her way to others as the comedian was to her.
But she is really very mean to honest reporters who are trying to do their jobs too.
She needs to learn that it hurts when people treat you the way the comedian treated her and that happens to also be the way she treats the press and the American people.
It's a lesson Sarah Huckabee Sanders needed to feel in her own heart. It was cruel, but it was a reflection of the way that Sarah treats others, namely the press and the American people.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders is dismissive toward the press and the American people, and that is wrong on her part.

(7,435 posts)For comedians, everything is fair game. Everything. Their personal lives, their families, it's all fodder because that's just the way it is. They are used to being in a universe where the targets slough off the jokes because it's all in service of laughs.
What Sanders does isn't about comedy or professionalism at all. She confronts the media at every turn, her immense disdain and contempt front and center in service of a political agenda that will bring this nation to its knees. It's not entertainment in the slightest. It's pretty serious stuff.

(3,515 posts)That expression of hateful energy that she carries on her face as she puts the reporters down, tells lies and exudes the mean will gradually become what she is.
Good heavens.
She is a minister's daughter. She knows that love is what living is about.
What in the world is she doing in the Trump administration, that zoo of hate, greed and anger?
Sarah Huckabee Sanders needs to take a breath and change jobs. She probably is a much nicer person underneath it all than the mask we see. The hellish dust of the Trump administration is rubbing off on her more each day. If she doesn't watch out, she will reallly become more and more that ugly persona.
She should quit. She can't possibly be as mean as she acts toward the press, as condescending as she is during her press conferences. She needs to quit if she wants to remain sane and be a good mother to her children.
The Trump administration is no place for a decent person.

(102,494 posts)Have you ever (metaphorically) "MET" Mike Huckabee, her "minister" Father, who has a habit of saying some of the meanest, nastiest things I've ever heard in defense of Trump? Who lies consistently like his daughter?
Perhaps, google his nastier comments (he's apparently on twitter too). That should dispel any notion of what a "good man" and therefore, what a "decent person" Sarah must be....

(3,515 posts)night. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a disgrace to our country, as are Trump and most of the people in his administration.
Sarah got a tiny taste of her own medicine, of her own disregard for the feelings of others last night.
It's really sad because she is in a position to know how it feels now and to change herself and her situation and the lives of others. It's up to her to take her own shame and use it to change herself.
That was shame she felt last night. She knew, deep down, that what was being said was true, and she felt like crying.

(3,515 posts)Surely she is not that impatient and rude to her own children and husband????
Surely people she is close to don't put up with that.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders' treatment of the press if she disagrees with them is just beyond belief ugly. And it makes her ugly -- physically ugly when she conjures up all that ugliness and hate within herself and projects it out to the correspondents who show up for her "shows," that is her press conferences.
If she were a teacher in a school, and she treated her students like that, the PTA in unison would demand her dismissal.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders needs to take a breath, some time for prayer, and ask God for help in correcting herself.
She is not making America a better place, much less great.

The POS POTUS bailed leaving Sarah the focal point of the barbs and we blame the comedian for being mean?

Just like the Comedy Central Roasts...pretty brutal. Gee I wonder why its called a ROAST.
I will say Sarah Sanders looked very pretty last night! So at least for one night she was a pretty liar.
