1. Tell your boss to stop calling the media "the enemy of the state"

Inciting violence

[forgotmylogin]

9. I think it's pretty plainly obvious that SHS can't tell 45 anything.

It should be the other way around - Press Secretary reports what the President does and says.

SHS can't even do that as most of her answers nowadays are "I can't possibly know the President's mind on this and I'd have to refer you to his legal counsel..."

28. No doubt,Journalist-hate emboldens, incites violence. Shooter did have a grudge.

•The suspect held a long-standing grudge against the newspaper over a 2011 article that covered a criminal harassment charge brought against him, authorities said.
•In 2012, Ramos filed a defamation lawsuit against the paper and a columnist. The suit worked its way through the Maryland courts until 2015, when the state’s second-highest court upheld a ruling in favor of the newspaper.
•“I remember telling our attorneys, 'This is a guy who is going to come in and shoot us,’ ” said Thomas Marquardt, the paper’s former editor and publisher, who was named as one of the defendants.


"What we know about the shooter"

30. She leads the charge of denigrating reporters at every news conference with her sneers.

She really thinks that she is hot stuff with hallucinations of being a journalist. This situation is pathetic. America is in for a long night with no light in sight. The beacon of hope has been blown out and scales of justice and law silenced.

31. Her job is to attack journalists and she does it with relish. And ketchup.

Rather ironic tweet.

[bdamomma]

2. well her boss

keeps on calling them Fake news, has not ever said one good thing about journalists. I would like what or who motivated him to do another unspeakable act in the country.


fuck your thought and prayers cause you don't give a shit, a person who takes children away from their parents you can fucking go to hell.

[The Genealogist]

3. What, no thoughts to go with your prayers, Sarah?

[Rhiannon12866]

20. That was my first thought, too!

Maybe she figures that the Tweet speaks for her brain activity...

[Garion_55]

4. interesting

think maybe they got a heads up that the shooter was a trump fan carrying out his wishes against the enemies of the state?

why else all the immediate condemnations?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Confirmed or not, they are afraid it could so easily be. . . . nt

[Bettie]

5. She sounds rather

Feckless...just sayin'.

[jpak]

6. "Enemy of the People"

FU Sarah

[Leghorn21]

7. No doubt SHS and LOSER45 are inconsolable

The real headline: FOX finds CNN’s Acosta more
newsworthy than @potus go Jim ⁦@Acosta ⁦@CNN⁩

CNN star Jim Acosta shamed at Trump rally as crowd chants, 'Go home, Jim'

13. Acosta is not ashamed to be doing his job and he is doing it well. . . . nt

[LonePirate]

8. She can go to hell. She and her boss are both complicit in today's tragedy.

[keithbvadu2]

10. Just Sarah trying to CYA.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Both are abruptly aware of the atmosphere they have helped create

so they're trying to appear normal for a few days, probably until this blows over.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Damn your "innocent"! You mean that there are "guilty journalists", Sarah Thugabee Sanders! . . . nt

[Midnight Writer]

15. Why is she defending the "Enemies of our People"?

[Sugar Smack]

16. Because she's getting hungry & she wants "her table" back.

My only guess.

[truthisfreedom]

17. His rabid violent base eats up his hate and translates

it into action, and this will happen again.


ON ANOTHER NOTE, HAPPY CAPS LOCK DAY!!!1!!

[paleotn]

18. F' you hucklebee

you ArKEENsawu knuckle dragger. Fuck you! Oh, by the way...get the hell out!!!!!!

[onenote]

24. +1

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

19. "Attacking journalists is MY job!"

Fuck thoughts and prayers. Do something!

[Solly Mack]

21. She qualified her remark with the word "innocent" - as opposed to the journalists who are

"enemies of the people" according to her boss.

She can spare us her hypocrisy. She attacks the press all the time.

[Hav]

26. The whole way it is worded is just so terrible and tone deaf

Why the need to stress that they were just doing their job as if their job included something offensive that riled people up or that they had to do something on their bosses behalf they didn't like?

Coupled with the innocent remark, it's clear they are afraid that the motives might have had something to do with the violence Trump incites.

[Initech]

22. Will she condemn her boss' violent rhetoric against journalism?

Probably not.

[Nitram]

23. Well isn't that nice.

Thoughts and prayers from Sarah and Donald.

[Paladin]

25. How completely and predictably underwhelming. (nt)

[Capperdan]

27. Dump will pray for them at the Golf Course

God will surely hear him.

[oberliner]

29. That was actually a good statement

Too bad it doesn't match what her boss says.

[Snellius]

32. How about "Armed kidnapping of innocent children from mothers protecting their child?"

[AZ Jim]

33. If this "religious" Hypocrite

Doesn't go to the hottest corner of hell, there is no justice and that goes for her mental pipsqueak daddy as well. PS the sooner the better.
