White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been filling in for her boss Sean Spicer more frequently of late, and she’s been suffering a number of familiar pitfalls. She seems to be having a harder time summoning enthusiasm while selling Donald Trump’s lies. She’s becoming more defensive. And that’s not the only manner in which Huckabee Sanders has begun emulating Spicer.

Later she claimed that her three year old had gotten ahold of her phone. But this excuse raises questions of its own, such as whether this represented a breach of security protocol. In any case, with Huckabee Sanders’ tweet containing so many emojis about ships and trains, it led to the inevitable joke as to whether this was what the Trump administration meant by “infrastructure week.”
