Sarah Sanders hides from scandals with only 1 press briefing in 79 days [View all]



The White House has only briefed the press once in 2019 as they attempt to hide from tough questions about Trump's failures.

White House Press Secretary Sanders has only held one press briefing in 2019, even as continued revelations about criminal and unethical by Trump and his inner circle have emerged.

The last White House briefing was January 28. There were no briefings in the entire month of February, and there have been none in March.

The lack of briefings appears to be a deliberate strategy to evade uncomfortable questions.
<snip>

These include:
Congressional testimony from Trump's former personal lawyer and fixer revealing details of Trump's actions to violate federal law, his racism, and overall ignorant and unethical behavior;
Trump's decision to stonewall Congressional investigations into his violations of national security and ethical guidelines, including possible criminal acts;
Anger from Americans after their tax refunds shrunk thanks to the GOP tax scam.
Trump and Republicans presiding over an increase in the national debt after promising for years to lower it;
Trump's humiliating failure on the world stage as he was fooled once again by North Korea;
A new election being ordered in North Carolina after the Republican candidate he supported got caught in an election fraud scandal;
Trump's Homeland Security Secretary justifying children being put in cages.
Trump's invocation of a phony "national emergency" of constitutionally dubious validity to build his racist border wall;
Trump's hypocrisy in commenting on anti-Semitism while he has offered praise of Nazis;

And much, much more. - ShareBlue
