Sarah Sanders Lied About Trump Calls to Military Parents informing them of the death of their sons..

It still amazes me how many people are willing to LIE for Trump--and to do it on national tv. !!

Sarah Sanders Lied About Trump Calls to Military Parents

..............
..................

..............she told viewers:

“I’ve also sat in the room when the president had to make the most difficult calls of his presidency: when he had to let a parent know that their son had been killed in the line of duty. That’s a call no president wants to make. And I also saw his commitment to the men and women of our great military.”



That never happened according to the New York Times. Annie Karni writes, “Each branch of the military has its own protocols for notifying next of kin, but all require a field grade officer of equal or higher grade than the member whose death they are notifying to do so in person.”.


She repeated a similar line on Good Morning America. Sanders told George Stephanopoulos, “I sat with him in the Oval Office as he had to make that awful call to let a parent know that their son had been killed in Afghanistan.”

Stephanopoulos asked for a clarification and Sanders admitted she was talking about condolence calls.

Unnecessary text in the headline, like adding:

'Water is Wet...'
'Fire is Hot...'
'tRump is a Total Failure...'
