Where’s Sean Spicer when Sarah Huckabee Sanders needs him?
The principal deputy White House press secretary and daughter of ex-Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee probably should have played Thursday’s press conference a little differently than she did. Instead, Huckabee Sanders defended President Trump’s nasty tweet about “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski, in which the leader of the free world said Joe Scarborough’s on- and off-camera partner was “bleeding badly from a face-lift” during an interaction they had right around New Year’s Eve.
Trump also called Brzezinski “Crazy” and “low I.Q.,” and labeled her fiancee Scarborough “Psycho.” Yes, he fit that all — AND a shot at their MSNBC TV ratings — into 140 characters this morning.
Here are Trump’s tweets, which Huckabee Sanders excused to the media as her boss “fighting fire with fire.”

Millions can play at that game. Here’s the best shot we found fired at Huckabee Sanders on Twitter:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders always sounds like she's telling you it's your fault the hotel room you reserved two months ago isn't available

Sarah Huckabee Sanders' primary role in the White House Press Operation is to make Sean Spicer look slightly less ridiculous

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a sell out. As a woman, she's defending Trump, who condones sexism, hate & bullying. She's a disgrace.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders shows that she has no shame in defending trump's disgusting, vulgar words. This is the most repugnant WH in history.

OMG y'all.
This is NOT about how Sarah Huckabee Sanders looks!
She's a vile human being.
Can it just be about that, please?

Most unbelievable part of Sarah Huckabee Sanders presser was when she implied that God has not utterly forsaken us
