There Is a Noticeable Lack of Trump Administration Faces Appearing On the Sunday Shows Tomorrow

by Lindsey Ellefson | 12:57 pm, May 13th, 2017

Well, almost none of Donald Trump‘s administration members or surrogates will be on the Sunday shows tomorrow. That’s not normal.

It’s also not for lack of trying on the part of bookers, producers, and showrunners. While talking yesterday about Trump’s sudden firing of FBI director James Comey, Fox News’ Chris Wallace said, “We’re waiting — just to give you an example — we very much want somebody to represent the president’s point of view on Sunday about the Comey firing. They still haven’t given us anybody; we can’t even reach anybody to ask.” Watch that above.

It won’t surprise you to learn that the problem isn’t exclusive to Fox. There are no White House spokespeople to be found on any of the Sunday show schedules tomorrow. The shocking news is even leading the current edition of Brian Stelter‘s “Reliable Sources” newsletter for CNN.

This, rather notably, comes on the heels of the big week we just had that started with Sally Yates‘ testimony and James Comey‘s firing, and ended with the president seemingly threatening Comey about supposed “tapes” of their conversations and suggesting doing away with press briefings for the sake of “accuracy” from his spokespeople.

I hope he keeps it up.

There's no point in listening to lies.
