Nunberg calls Huckabee Sanders 'a fat slob' in interview

Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg called Sarah Huckabee Sanders a "fat slob" in an interview on Monday after the White House press secretary criticized earlier comments he had made during a series of unusual interviews.

"If Sarah Huckabee wants to start debasing me, she's a joke. OK, fine, yeah, she's not attractive. She's a fat slob, OK, fine," Nunberg told NY1.

"But that's irrelevant. The person she works for has a thirty percent approval rating, okay? So if she wants to start attacking me, she can do that, that's fine. But we know that's a joke," he said.

Sanders ripped Nunberg's comments during the White House press briefing, calling them incorrect after the fired aide suggested that special counsel Robert Mueller might have something on President Trump.

Nunberg earlier had told NBC News that the special counsel’s line of questioning “insinuated to me that [Trump] may have done something” wrong.

“I definitely think he doesn't know that for sure because he's incorrect,” Sanders said. “As we said many times before, there was no collusion with the Trump campaign. Anything further on what his actions are — he hasn't worked at the White House. I can't speak to him or the lack of knowledge that he clearly has.”

I am sure she has been called a lot worse. I know I have called her every horrible, insulting word in the English dictionary as well as a few in Italian. She is a lying, insulting, condescending person and every sentence out of her mouth is worse than the last. She sure can dish it out but she can't take it. Hmmmm, that reminds me of someone else in the W House.

Would it have been more palatable if she was called a whore seeing she's prostituting herself for the drumpf and co.? I didn't do that. Whattabout a depiction of her and Sister Halibut? I said the word 'eggplant'. Nowheres nearing offensive.

Tue Mar 6, 2018, 03:58 PM

Females/the woman--equal to males.

They have the brainpower that equals or can surpass that of males. Some of their accomplishments can be outstanding and leave male counterparts in the dust.

They are not sex object commodities and 'should be' treated with respect and admiration for their non-physical attributes.

They (females/the woman) is a spectacular creation of beauty, INSIDE AND OUT. They can be caring, tender, thoughtful and warmhearted while also possessing aggressiveness in a righteous manner.

Females/the woman, true reflections of the idea of 'service'. An 'ikon' of stewardship in and on the earth. Endowed with a certain 'wisdom' that only she is gifted with.

I love and enjoy the males I am close to and those of 'bosom' buddy-ship. (Don't pick at 'bosom'. Abraham's 'bosom' is the Scriptures.) Ya know why? They got a good amount of 'femininity' in them. And that is quite appealing.

My tea is getting cold so I'll leave it at that.

First of all, she's overweight, but not grotesquely so, and she does have a pretty face...This doesn't mean I "like" her -- It means I have a pair of eyes and something called objectivity.

I.think what many really hate her for -- and can't seem to express it in anything but sexist terms -- is that she's unflappable. She keeps her cool and, whether you like what she says or not, is always in control.

These guys are absolute FREAKS, losers from the get-go who have, like Hitler’s crippled, overweight and psychopathic lieutenants, found acceptance in politics that directly disrupt and destroy others’ lives.
