Sarah Huckabee Sanders has announced she will leave the White House by the end of the year, but she didnt want to come to the White House podium on Monday.
According to a White House official, Sanders knew there would be questions about the administrations policies on separating children from their families coming over the border. For that reason the White House flew in Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

A White House official tells @jeffzeleny that @PressSec didn't want to do the briefing today amid questions on child separation policy, so @SecNielsen is being flown in from New Orleans to take questions.

(115,856 posts)I guess SHS doesn't like it when the WH press people argue with her.

(18,837 posts)She's laying out all of the talking points so Sanders can simply point back to what was said and not answer a damned thing.

(90,787 posts)A lot of times, people who would rather not answer questions or who wish to deflect from the for certain questions they know are coming, they will go off on a "factoid" rambling - in hopes people will ask questions about what they just said and not the prepared questions that might be uncomfortable.
Now she is claiming the "parents" might be only "claiming" to be a "parent" & they are only saving the child from any potential abuses like sex trafficking/human trafficking.
That the "parent" (and the quotes are because of the doubt she intentionally cast on the word) could be drug smuggling - and the child is - again- removed for the child's safety.
Denying their treatment of the children is inhumane.
And that it is ALL about the "best interests" of the children.
And how reporters need to consider the feelings of the border patrol people when reporting on what is happening.
The reporters are sticking to the question they intended to use. Good on them!
She is so FOS.
She won't answer the question- "Where are the girls?"
She keeps pretending she doesn't understand what the question is and the reporter keeps asking.
"Where are the girls?"

This is criminal injustice. Shocking.
