Sam Donaldson Explains How Sarah Huckabee Sanders Lying Is Unprecedented
I think shes had an Oscar, a lifetime achievement Oscar for lying, the veteran ABC news anchor said of the White House press secretary.
Veteran ABC news anchor Sam Donaldson on Friday called out White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders well-documented history of lying as he appeared to suggest she deserved a lifetime achievement Oscar for spreading false and misleading information.
Look, Ive had the pleasure of working with almost every press secretary beginning with Pierre Salinger of John F. Kennedys administration and, except for Ron Ziegler who lied for Richard Nixon, Ive never seen anything like this with Sarah Sanders, Donaldson told CNN host Anderson Cooper.
Donaldson explained, however, how Ziegler lied only about matters related to the Watergate scandal but would often be truthful on other issues.
Sanders simply lies about everything on behalf of President Donald Trumps administration, Donaldson claimed. Not just one thing.
I think shes had an Oscar, a lifetime achievement Oscar for lying, he added. And lets face it, I dont know her. I feel a little sorry for her because its the boss who does it. She takes the cue from him. Leadership begins at the top. And so it is all the bad things that happen in the administration.
