Sam Donaldson Explains How Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Lying Is Unprecedented
“I think she’s had an Oscar, a lifetime achievement Oscar for lying,” the veteran ABC news anchor said of the White House press secretary.

Veteran ABC news anchor Sam Donaldson on Friday called out White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ well-documented history of lying as he appeared to suggest she deserved a “lifetime achievement Oscar” for spreading false and misleading information.

“Look, I’ve had the pleasure of working with almost every press secretary beginning with Pierre Salinger of John F. Kennedy’s administration and, except for Ron Ziegler who lied for Richard Nixon, I’ve never seen anything like this with Sarah Sanders,” Donaldson told CNN host Anderson Cooper.

Donaldson explained, however, how Ziegler lied only about matters related to the Watergate scandal but “would often be truthful” on other issues.

Sanders “simply lies about everything” on behalf of President Donald Trump’s administration, Donaldson claimed. “Not just one thing.”

“I think she’s had an Oscar, a lifetime achievement Oscar for lying,” he added. “And let’s face it, I don’t know her. I feel a little sorry for her because it’s the boss who does it. She takes the cue from him. Leadership begins at the top. And so it is all the bad things that happen in the administration.”

1. Worse than Watergate's Ziegler...

that is quite an accomplishment for a devout Christian. What ever happened to "thou shalt not lie".

Fucking hypocrites!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Ron Ziegler is a tough act to follow.

But SHS is a true Jedi master of lying.

[malaise]

3. And her pastor daddy encourages her

Think about that

[BamaRefugee]

4. The use of the word "unprecedented" is unprecented with this *administration*. The only way we can

fight back is to come out with a tsunami of UNPRECEDENTED IDEAS OF OUR OWN, the same old same old just isn't going to be powerful enough.

5. hard to know what motivates her

Maybe she just likes lying. Who knows? But you might as well turn the TV off when she is on.

[DoctorJoJo]

6. Her Religion!

[prodigitalson]

12. Yep

She thinks she is saving babies by supporting the guy who appoints anti choice judges.

[maddiemom]

16. I can't believe that Mr.Trump has never been responsible for an abortion somewhere in the

"romantic" life he's long loved to brag about to the world.

[BobTheSubgenius]

7. No reason at all to feel sorry for her, Sam. Not even a little.

She endorses her role loud and clear by continuing to play it. She is arrogant and belligerent while doing it, as well.

[mahannah]

8. Wish Donaldson was still on the air.

[KPN]

9. But Sam, it's not lying. It's stating alternative facts!

[MontanaMama]

10. SHS says they aren't lies!

They’re slips of the tongue....and the press let that whopper fly. 🙄

[rurallib]

11. I guess on the upside she does it much less often these days

About once every couple of months for a half hour or so.
That should qualify her for some other prize for bilking her employers.

[kacekwl]

13. That's because

Everything trump does is a scandal.

[JohnnyRingo]

14. Scathing.

They can't dismiss this as some left wing loon picking on Trump because he's doing such a good job.

I'd be ashamed if my last name was Huckabee. I'd ask that she go by Sanders. She should resign if only to salvage some honor for her family. Then again, her father sold the family name for a few shekels of gold years ago.

Does the job pay so well that she would literally do anything to keep it? Is it about status that she has a WH job? I mean Sam Donaldson just called her the worst liar ever to hold the position. This should hurt more than any comedian calling her out.

[residentcynic]

15. "Unpresidented"

For any Trump fans who may be reading this and need a translation of Donaldson's English to Trumpist spelling.

[lunatica]

17. I miss his booming voice asking really tough questions.

His voice cut right through any clamoring of questions and was always picked up by the mics. He didn’t need to be close to whoever he was asking questions to. He could stand yards away and everyone could hear him.

I thought he had passed. He’s got to be really up there in age!

[Scurrilous]

18. ...
