Trump spokeswoman celebrates CNN boycotting White House Christmas party

Source: MSN/The Hill

President Trump's top spokeswoman celebrated news Tuesday that CNN would be boycotting the White House Christmas Party this year.

"Christmas comes early! Finally, good news from @CNN," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted.

The White House had invited CNN, among other media outlets, to attend the annual event.

"In light of the President's continued attacks on freedom of the press and CNN, we do not feel it is appropriate to celebrate with him as invited guests," a CNN spokesperson told The Hill.

Why do they allow themselves to be insulted all the time? Huckerbee Sanders would not have THIS job, if not for her daddy. Faux does not hire fat chicks, so after tRump implodes, she is out of work.

It's like kids in grade school who watch a bully day after day getting away with whatever he wants. After seeing it for long enough more and more of them start to emulate the bully, doing what he does, saying what he says, and even thinking like he thinks. It won't end until people step up and put the bully in his place.

Not covering this White House in any way, shape or form (except, of course, all the indictments that are coming) would be a good start in the restoration of the Republic.

They have the press wrapped around their little fingers. I don't watch the news anymore except Rachel because it's all just a dog and pony show starring rump and suckabee to drag the press noses around on the stupid trick of the day and they fall for it every time. CNN is getting it.

I heard Lindsey Graham tell Wolf Blitzer that CNN basically deserves the treatment that Trump gives them because they are "over the top unfair" in their coverage of Trump. He continued to say that if you watch CNN it's 24 hours a day of "Trump did something wrong and stupid."

Keep it up CNN....keep getting under Trump's skin. Keep up the pressure.

as soon as your Dear Leader does something GOOD they will report it. As it stands, he is making a total ass of himself, tweeting out bullsh** daily. I wonder how much Russian money Graham has taken so far? There HAS to be something in it for these pols. who ignore tRump's total inadequacies, and cheer lead for the fool. Graham has a constant sneer for some reason.

The next time she tells a whopper, they should all leave, and issue a statement about how insulting she is to the press.

Would that hurt their precious access? I think if they did that, 45 would be begging them to come back. Then, the 4th estate could hold alternative press conferences for awhile. Fuck Huckabee and 45.
