'Bring Your Kids to Work Day' didn't go so well for Sarah Huckabee Sanders

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders probably thought holding a mock press briefing on "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day 2019" would go smoothly but, hoo boy, was she wrong.

While Sanders was fine hosting a group of kids (mostly the children of the White House press corps), she hasn't hosted an actual press briefing for actual reporters in 45 days which is a new record.

........................................................
Sanders was prepared for what should have been some softball questions, but things didn't go quite as smoothly as she hoped.

This if, of course, not entirely true. The administration carried out the family separation policy for a while before backing off. Even now, despite denials from administration officials, there's reported talk of bringing it back in a revised form. ...................................................

that have winger parents...Hopefully they can grow up to be...better...


A bunch of the questions were 'favorite color' and 'favorite dinosaur,' but Sanders was asked about child separation policy by one kid. She replied Trump wants to "keep families together"

Regarding the child separation question and response, I don't think he views immigrants from central/south america as being part of families. I bet the "keep families together" is for his political base. Disappointing that these scumbags in the white house feel they need to outright lie to kids, instead of using even a little grey matter in thinking of any sort of BS to shovel to those kids. The kid that asked that question knows they received BS from her. Anyone smart enough to ask that question would know it, or they wouldn't be asking. Now that kid knows what lying criminals the white house employs. Too bad. America should be able to put on a better face for kids.

How long before that kid's parents have suddenly become democrats to Donald?
