Sarah Huckabee Sanders is still out on the media circuit promoting her new book that nobody wants to read. This week, she sat down for eight excruciating minutes with Australian ABC TV anchor Leigh Sales and, let’s just say, things didn’t go so well for her.
Sales opened by asking the former White House press secretary, “Can Donald Trump tell the difference between the truth and a lie?” To which Sanders responded with her usual vague attacks on the media that everyone’s now heard approximately 4,897,382 times.
The first half of the interview is mostly just Sales asking tough, thoughtful questions and Sanders deflecting, evading, and occasionally gaslighting to weasel her way out of answering them.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Things got really weird, however, about five and a half minutes in when Sales pressed Sanders on how Donald “grab ’em by the p*ssy” Trump squares with her values as a Christian.
“How do you reconcile for a president who has misled the American people on everything from coronavirus to climate change. He boasts about grabbing women on the p*ssy. Who paid hush money to a porn star to keep her quiet about their alleged relationship and who has maligned the men and women of America’s Armed Forces?”
That’s when Sanders went on a truly insane tangent about how the only perfect candidate is Jesus Christ and, if she ever sees his name on a ballot, she’ll “be sure to vote for him!”
She then went on to say that she’s basically OK with lying to people and abandoning her faith to support a man who she says has been unfairly demonized “for the sin of winning an election.”
The interview is quite… something.
Watch.

These videos will be used in history class a lifetime from now. They will teach children what America on the brink looked like.
Huckabee‘s ancestors will feel shame.
Max
that might be true. but what is more horrifying is that she and the Trump-supporting base do not care. their only concern is to be in power no matter the moral or ethical costs.
Cato
Huckabee’s ancestors already feel shame. With any luck she won’t have any descendants.

If there are still schools by then that is. This world is on a downward spiral, thanks partly to Trump.
ElPillo
Unfortunately, this video will not be used in a US school that is controlled by folks who teach creationism as a valid reality or minimize slavery. It’s important to vote for school commissioners eh on the ballot as schools are developing the kind of people who vote for trump.

Sorry to say they won’t just look at her father ! they wouldn’t know the truth if Jesus himself came back and told them ! God , if there is one needs to sort out his followers they lie, cheat, fornicate and spew hatred ! or it could be they are just your average Southern American .
Mister P
I love how one of the lies she tells in the exchange is that she would vote for Jesus.
He would most certainly want to provide health care for all, tax the rich, and get rid of guns. All things they can’t stand. Let alone the compassion and concern for the least among us.
Creamsicle
Yeah the Religious Right is just a dog whistle for white identity politics at this point. They almost never talk about Jesus’s own words or teachings unless they can use it to exclude someone from society.
canadiankid
Exactly these so-called Jesus lovers would be the same ones crucifying him back in the day. It’s insane.
UlfRaynor
And Jesus was also okay with slavery and told slaves to obey their masters even if they beat and mistreat you.
Cam
Perfect the way she kept pointing out to her audience that Sanders was refusing to actually answer her questions. American media just lets them drone on and doesn’t point this out.
Also nice that she makes it clear that all of these people who claim to be religious and hypocrites.
hayesj
Huckabee is a vile, inhuman scumbag who should be hung from a tree for supporting a lying, hypocritical, sexist, murdering criminal like Trump.
GayEGO
Sarah Huckleberry is just another Trump crony, like Kayleigh McEnema!
WashDrySpin
American media WOULD never do this because American media is controlled by BIlLIONAIRES who want to see Trump win again
Fname Optional Lname
Oh please! They will vote for the sinner who brags about sexually abusing women because “nobody is sin free but Jesus” HOWEVER – if two gay men are in love and want to marry , well that’s a totally different story. So a sin where you abuse another person is just man being a mortal but a “sin” based on love is surely most offensive! Trump is not religious and considers Christians weak and stupid. He has never stepped foot inside a church to attend a service unless there was a wedding, funeral or a politically affiliated reason. Seeing that photo of him standing in front of a church while holding a bible upside down is comical yet he was right, he knew his Christian followers would eat it up with a big old spoon and they certainly did. He could have had both women that he paid off in that photo while he was screaming “Grab them by the p**$$y and it would not have changed their minds one bit. They don’t care that he is the anti religious kind that they insist is “destroying the American Family” – they just care that he is not a democrat!

While I’m sure this interview is epic, I refuse to watch it. That woman, and all the women who work for Dump, makes me want to stab somebody, anybody. I have to ignore them for my own mental health.
david-tullis
Except for the stabbing part, I totally agree with you.
john.k
Oh watch it. You’ll enjoy seeing her squirm, especially as it goes on – she’s almost hysterical towards the end of it.. And that alone should be enough to abate any wish to stab someone.
o.codone
How does a person who says they want to stab somebody make it through the editor’s approval process? I can’t say “pus sy”, but this guy wants to stab someone and there’s no problem with that?
muscl954
She and other Republican sycophants will go to their graves deluded and loyal to a despicable man who is attempting to ruin democracy in America for his own ego and gain. Suckabee is as bad as Trump.
ScottOnEarth
This beastly woman is genuine human garbage.

The only thing this article left me with is the hope that the Russians will have mercy on us and not put Trump back in office. That northern Yankee has made every last one of us in the south look like fools and shows just how uneducated we have allowed our children to grow up to be. You are nothing but a low life hillbilly who had no business in that position. In that segment of the video where you were walking down the driveway to the microphones wearing that short dress you looked just like a tramp coming out of a trailer park after being banged by three black guys with BBC’s. The only conclusion I can come to as to how you got that job was a phone call to Trump from your father who assured Trump that by putting there you could not only influence the hillbilly and uneducated white vote but all what was needed to guarantee you’d never say the wrong thing was a prepared script. You’d ad lib the rest and with that presto, you got the job. It wasn’t your smarts but your hillbilly look, mannerism and your father that got you there.

Sarah Sanders is a LYING, A ss kissing, 8 ITCH, C UNT who wouldn’t know the truth even if it ran her A SS over.
MISTERJETT
STUPID FAT COW!!!!
vinnieboiblue
Is she getting ready for Halloween early with the Morticia look? Or is she auditioning for the role of Miss Piggy Pecan Pie?
AxelDC
Trump’s greatest accomplishment is laying bare how immoral and unprincipled his Mormon and Evangelical supporters are. They no more care about Jesus and Bible than they care about money and power. Baby Huckabee, daughter of a preacher, lies like no one else could for a man who would epitomize the anti-Christ if he weren’t so transparent in his crass venality.
toddlicious
Leigh Sales deserves an award for holding Sarah suckabee panders’ feet you the fire. Good on you Leigh!!!!
Mack
Face it, the Republican Party has no morals, has no credibility, and is made up of out right liars.
Amos Lassen
I lived in Arkansas when fee father was governor and the stories about the Huckabees are incredible but it was Arkansas so we can’t expect much better. After daddy finished his term, the family moved away but Sarah went back and I understand she wants to run for governor.
IndependentForever
Are bovine permitted to be governor in Arkansas?
justyouandi
Really guys, if you’re looking for morality in the White House what did you have to say about Bill Clinton, or, for that matter, Hillary, who is completely corrupt?
seadrian
What does the Clinton’s have to do with this story? What a sad attempt to deflect attention away from this lying cow.
Bill Clinton is the only President that balanced our national budget with a surplus and dropped the national debt 14.2% . Comparitively, Trump has given us a negative GDP and added more than $7.6 Trillion dollars to our debt.
Also, Trump ordered his DOJ to investigate Hillary after he took office. As with all prior investigations, they came up empty handed.
When you rely on Sean Hannity for your news you will always look uninformed when you jump into a conversation. It’s not a cute look.
jsmu
BITCH, PLEASE. You’re one of the most pathetic Russkytrolls ever. Up the troll game NOW or PUTA will ship your lame ass back to Irkutsk–and it’s WINTER THERE.
Ginger Tom
All you people have to contribute is “whataboutery.” It is just SO lame! So pathetic, it almost makes me want to weep for you.
WillParkinson
I’m sorry, when Clinton was impeached, how many of us stuck our fingers in our ears and cried it never happened? We accepted he did what they said. We didn’t deny, accuse, and lie.
Grow up, would you?
dali
Stop asking us to read your book. It’s probably mostly lies. Congrats to Leigh Sales! She deserves an award.
@dusyk
She’s always been really disgusting!
woodroad34
So, basically she’s a cheap hooker selling out her values to get power like Kim Davis. No, no gays are not good….cheating, valueless, morally corrupt, theiving and traitorous presidents are okay. Yep, solid values there.
jsmu
HuckaBITCH has always been stupid, but this is breaking new ground 😀
willzobar
Leigh Sales is probably the journalist that our politicians fear most. She even holds the feet of our Prime Minister to the fire in the same way – she’s pretty fearless.
Ginger Tom
Trump has not only devoured the GOP, he has devoured Christianity in America.
scolbert
She’s an ugly, vile, disgusting person both inside and out. She should be ashamed of herself
Preppy1000
I ALMOST felt sorry for Huckabee. She was clearly lying and trying to evade the questions. Bravo to the reporter for bluntly telling her at least three times to answer the question. She never did of course.
Gadfeal
She is the exception that you CAN know what’s in the book by looking at the cover. Central casting for the Wicked Witch of the West couldn’t find a better candidate. Pity she is such a dullard.
rocknstan
Unfortunately, public school “educational” staffers share much in common with Sanders.
She is a composite of the absolute worst traits of human behaviour.
Stick a fork in us, we’re done–unless:
The pendulum shifts, as RBG hoped it would.
radiooutmike
To me, she has always been a slightly more attractive but less-personal CHUD.
