An Ode to Sarah Huckabee Sanders From the Enemy -- Playboy
<...> Sanders, who announced last week she is leaving, walks away from the White House leaving a smoldering caldera of scorched earth and the desecration of our founding fathers precepts which metaphorically represent the Armageddon her religion taught her. She was never qualified to hold the post of Press Secretary. She is naïve, inexperienced and didn’t know the purpose of the office or how to deal with the press in a functional way. During the last two years, she abandoned the traditional role of the Press Secretary in favor of being the president’s chief defender; in doing so, she never faltered come hell, high water or a lack of factual information.
While previous press secretaries said they never wanted to be put in a position to lie to the public, Sanders did it proudly and with impunity. Larry Speakes, Ronald Reagan’s press secretary, once told reporters we shouldn’t tell the administration how to stage the news and they wouldn’t tell us how to report it. This administration, with Sanders’ assistance, wants to tell us what to report, how to do it and admonish us for not doing exactly what is dictated.
As a direct result, reporters across this country have endured hate mail and death threats. We’re still here. Sanders, guided by Trump, eliminated the daily press briefing and replaced it with a series of driveway excursions conducted by administration officials, which gives her cover to say the administration is being transparent even though no useful information was ever provided to the public. Press secretaries used to carry a briefing book thick with administration policies, facts to supply and talking points on issues to cover. It’s gone. <...>
