At the White House press briefing on Tuesday, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders dismissed a question about if President Donald Trump has considered stepping down.

“No and I think that’s an absolutely ridiculous question,” she said to American Urban Radio Networks’ April Ryan before moving on to another reporter.

Sanders also went to great lengths to separate the President from the FBI’s Monday raid of the properties of his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. “This doesn’t have anything to do with the President and I would refer you to Michael Cohen and his attorney,” she said. “When it comes to matters of the special counsel and dealings with the President, we’ve been fully cooperative.”

1. The answer was obvious...

But I think it speaks volumes that we've reached the point now that that question was just seriously asked at a press conference.

[dameatball]

3. Ya think??? Never heard anyone ask Obama that one.

[calimary]

11. Yes. Indeed it does.

That we're now asking questions like that OPENLY. That they're so broad-based, and widely and publicly uttered by now, yep. It speaks volumes alright!

As Nancy Reagan once warned Don Regan, who at the time was her husband's chief-of-staff (who she thought was serving him poorly), "people are talking." He was soon out, btw. She's credited with sending his head rolling down the hall.

2. Hate to break it to you, Sarah Honey

But there was nothing ridiculous about that question, nothing at all.

Instead of living in your echo chamber, Sarah, how about plugging into the 70% of Americans who happen to want legitimate responses to viable questions.

[unblock]

4. At least the question got asked and they gave an answer

Puts it in play far more than just ignoring it!

5. A follow up, please, Sarah. If it's not about him, why did Trump melt down

at what was supposed to be a meeting with his generals and Bolton about what to do about Syria?

[marble falls]

6. No, Sarah, not having thought about it in the circumstances he's in is "absolutely rediculous".

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Trump is playing this dance where

he is trying to outmaneuver the Special Counsel so Trump can decide what is legal and what isn't.

It's not going to work. The law is the law, it's what America is founded upon.

[Le Gaucher]

8. Thank god it was Sarah .. I thought it was Bernie

[DFW]

9. I wonder of the name Ron Ziegler rings a bell with Sarah Sanders?

Naaah, probably not.............

[Paladin]

10. That's a question that needs to be asked, over and over again. (nt)

[TomCADem]

12. More Likely That Trump Continues to Try To Purge DOJ of anyone...

...who respects law and order before he steps down.

[AZ Jim]

13. Huckabee, a "Christian hypocrite"

I cannot stand that woman.

[greyl]

14. April Ryan replied "...it's not ridiculous". nt

[Orsino]

15. Therefore he has.

That was easy.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. You're Good At That Translating Thing, Orsino!

I didn't know you spoke fluent liar. You learned their language really well!

[Orsino]

17. It's like Pig Latin, but much more piggish. n/t
