Sarah Sanders declines to answer whether slavery is wrong

[RandySF]

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders dressed up as herself on Tuesday and defended Chief of Staff John Kelly’s dumbass comments about why the Civil War could’ve been avoided if free states just compromised on that whole slavery thing.

Pool reporters gave Sanders multiple opportunities to clarify that she thinks enslaving people was bad. Instead, Sanders compared Robert E. Lee to George Washington and called the media “asburd” and “disgraceful” for daring to criticize the notion that some cuck general who committed treason and lost a war trying to leave America is one of “our leaders.”

Near the end of the presser, reporter April Ryan presented the question as simply as possible. “Sarah, was slavery wrong?” she asked. “Does this administration think that slavery was wrong?”

Sanders wished the reporters a “happy and safe” Halloween and exited the room.

1. That is a hard one to answer for the Huckabees

5. Wow! That is Truly an Ignorant Statement by Huckabee

....I was going to say "that I've ever heard" but lately its a daily occurrence

[Beartracks]

2. It's not a trick question, nor a gotcha question.

But she managed to provide a gotcha answer!

3. Can't direct even a particle of negativity toward the Deplorables.

4. I can't stand that stupid bitch.

I hope she becomes unemployable once the Titanic sinks.

6. Appalling

7. She does her job well

It’s a goddamned shame she puts those talents to — well, it’s not just a waste, it’s an active wickedness. Christ would be spinning in his grave (unless you’re a Christian, in which case he’d be spinning elsewhere).

Except for abortion — which Trump only pays lip-service to — she is working for one of the LEAST Christian politicians to ever grace the American stage.

Which is ironic considering that Sarah Huckabee and I both probably learned a great deal about Christianity from the same place: her dad. I used to go to his church when I was a kid. Granted, it was social mostly, and I wasn’t regular, but I am a veteran of multiple Vacation Bible Schools and bus trips to Shreveport or Little Rock to see Christian hair metal bands.

(On the record: many people describe me as “an atheist who’s more Christian than most Christians.)

9. Wait!

Does someone have a link to Kelly's comment that the "free" States should have compromised on slavery?

11. Fox News interview on Laura Ingram's first show. Look it up. nt

[TomSlick]

13. Thank you for your helpful response.

Does anyone have a link that does not require me to listen to Ingram? (I just ate.) A simple report or transcript would be nice.

14. You may do an Internet search.

Google Kelly interview with Laura Ingram.

I get your drift about her, she is a soulless asshole, completely disgusting. I did not listen to the interview, I don't watch Fox at all, period. I saw the comment by Kelly in a printed news article. Kelly is looking more and more like a racist.

[TomSlick]

15. I finally found a story with a more or less complete report on the quote.

I wish I could believe that Kelly is simply ignorant but I cannot. He is as concerned as Trump about alienating the Klan.

The man is either an unrepentant racist or has not sense of personal honor. Either way....

10. Inappropriate for the press to question a General?

Even ones who fought against the United States.

12. Plantation wife

[brush]

17. I started to add "Stepford wife" to your comment but caught myself. No one would duplicate her.

[bdamomma]

16. dismissed

18. Don't upset the base
