White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended President Trump's clashes with Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, and Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, who have both decided not to seek reelection in 2018.

"He wants people to be in the Senate that are committed to actually moving the ball down the field, and I don't think these two individuals necessarily have been as focused on that," Sanders said of both Flake and Corker during the White House press briefing Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday afternoon, Flake unexpectedly announced from the Senate floor that he will not run for re-election at the end of his term and specifically criticized Mr. Trump, calling him "dangerous to our democracy." "Mr. President, I rise today to say, enough," Flake said.

Sanders said that Flake's "language wasn't befitting of the Senate floor" and remarked that neither Flake nor Corker would have been popular enough with their own constituents to successfully win re-election in their respective states.

Gotta' admit, when I first glanced at this headline I thought it was referring to Bernie Sanders..... WTF. But anyway, go to hell Sarah Huckabee Sanders, if you had a spine you'd quit defending the orange monster and resign.

1. Silly me, I thought

it was the people who decided who should be in the Senate and House.

I truly do despise this entire group of civically ignorant tools.

2. "language wasn't befitting of the Senate floor" - interesting considering her boss's language.

3. This is the best job she will ever have. Who else but her Dad would hire her?

She has to support her crazy boss, we get that. Does anyone really expect her to have any credibility?

5. That's what I've concluded

This job is Sarah's own pinnacle.

6. Trump Demands 100% Loyalty to Him Not to the Oath of Office

This is the Most Dangerous Man in the World.

7. Since when does Huckabatshitcrazy...

get to determine what is "befitting of the Senate floor" or not, never having been anywhere near being a rep or Senator herself...
just a small annoying twit of a person, way, way, way out of her league...much like her douchebag boss... (not to impune douchebags).

8. Why does anyone still listen to "it"?

The mouthpiece is a waste of time. I agree with Keith Olbermann. Months ago he said that the reporters and cameras should boycott all the press conferences, etc since it is all lies and BS propaganda so we shouldn't allow them to exploit and manipulate the real, legitimate news as they have been for a year now.
