Sanders is the WH press secretary who lies to the press on a near daily basis. That's a fact. White womren journalists rushing to defend her as a "wife and mother" b/c Wolf called her on her lies is *peak* white womanhood. 1/
The fact Sanders can lie day in & out and then claim victimhood when called on it (& be supported by many in claiming victimhood) is a perfect example of how the social construct of "white womanhood" operates as a type of violence 2/
Monday thru Friday Sanders is the press secretary telling lie after lie. Saturday, she's called out on it and now she's a "wife and mother" whose honor as a white woman must be defended. The selective outrage from D.C. press is very telling. 3/3
