Sarah Huckabee Sanders just made things even worse
Yesterday, Donald Trump sank to one of his most unacceptable lows yet, when he openly sided with murderous North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un over former United States Vice President Joe Biden. Even as Trump continues to falsely accuse his political adversaries of treason, Trump’s latest words actually do involve something of a treasonous sentiment. But that’s okay, because Sarah Huckabee Sanders has found a way to make it even worse.
In case you missed it, here’s what Trump tweeted about the matter: “North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me. I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that’s sending me a signal?” That was his second try, after initially having misspelled it as “Joe Bidan.”
In any case, Donald Trump’s White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders – who still has her job despite almost never holding any press briefings these days – decided to appear on Meet The Press this morning. Would she try to claim that Trump didn’t actually mean what he tweeted, so she could walk back his horribly anti-American words? Nope, she stated that Trump and Kim Jong-Un share the same view of Joe Biden.
We’re not sure if this is supposed to mean that Kim Jong-Un doesn’t know how to spell “Joe Biden” either, or if they both think Biden is a “Swampman” or what. In any case, if Sarah Huckabee Sanders was supposed to clean up Donald Trump’s latest mess, all she did was make it even worse for him – and even harder for Trump’s GOP allies to try to sweep the whole thing under the rug. But they’ll try nonetheless.
