Sarah Huckabee Sanders Lies to 'Fox & Friends': April Ryan Literally Wants Me 'Decapitated'


White House reporter April Ryan used a common idiom to call for the press secretary’s firing. But that didn’t stop SHS from bad-faith fretting that Ryan wants her dead.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday morning reacted to reporter April Ryan’s call for her to be fired over her admission to Special Counsel Robert Mueller that she lied by pretending that Ryan literally called for her to be “decapitated.”

Following the May 2017 firing of FBI Director James Comey, the Mueller report revealed last week, Sanders lied to the press that she heard from “countless” FBI officials saying they lost confidence in Comey. Ryan, a White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks, lashed out at Sanders in a Thursday night CNN hit.

“When there is a lack of credibility there, you have to start...lopping the heads off,” Ryan said. “It’s ‘Fire Me Thursday’ or ‘Fire Me Good Friday’—she needs to go.”

Sanders’ father, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, would later accuse Ryan of inciting murder against his daughter over an obvious figure of speech, demanding that both CNN and the White House Correspondents’ Association take action against her. This prompted Ryan to fire back, reminding Huckabee that he once said Ryan should be “gutted like a deer” in response to her public spat with his daughter in late 2017.
