WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Calling it the least I can do for my country, the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said on Saturday morning that she would lie for free during the government shutdown.
Now more than ever its important that the stream of falsehoods and distortions from this White House continues to flow in a steady and uninterrupted fashion, Sanders said. To achieve that, for the duration of the government shutdown I will be lying on a pro-bono basis.
Sanders said that Donald Trump had asked that she keep a full accounting of the lies she told during the shutdown so that she could be reimbursed for them later, but she turned down that offer. Ive often said that I like to lie so much I would do it for free, she said. This is a chance to put my money where my mouth is.
The press secretary said that her offer had already inspired other top Administration figures to lie for free during the shutdown, including Vice-President Mike Pence, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and White House doctor Ronny Jackson.
After making her announcement, Sanders moved on to a broad range of other topics, including her assertion that the government had not shut down.
