Ms. Sanders, I’m thankful that Trump wasn’t president when I came to this country
The Miami Herald ^ | November 21, 2017 | Fabiola Santiago

In President Donald Trump’s first Thanksgiving in the White House, the Pilgrims are expendable — and so is the media’s dignity.

Clad in cheerful holiday red, his press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, walked up to the White House press corps podium Monday and ran through the reasons she’s thankful this Thanksgiving.

Her list was basically a rundown of President Trump’s so-called “law and order” and “America First” policies, and she thanked the protagonists tasked with defending the country, our borders and our streets.

The moment might have gone down as another superficial delivery of rhetoric versus substance, but then Sanders did something none of us have seen in decades of practicing journalism.

She literally strong-armed White House reporters into marking the holiday, too.

She would not take questions, she said, unless reporters listed what they’re thankful for this season.

She wasn’t kidding....

How dare she ask them to get in the spirit of a national holiday.

I thought it was interesting to ask them, but hardly deserves this reaction.

Why are the liberal media so aghast at her asking what they are thankful for? Why does this arouse such passions(not that kind, but other passions)? Why does this arouse such hostility?

The media is hate filled, and cannot tolerate American values. He would celebrate Muslim hate though, haven’t they?

Fabiolo needs to head back to Cuba. His very presence here, and ingratitude for being allowed to saty, undermines the whole premise that DACA’ns are Americans except for legal status.

Socialism is genetic and we don’t need more of it here including the people who bring it.

Feh ... When my grandfather came to America, getting in (and becoming a citizen) was a whole lot harder than it is today. Then he got drafted into the Navy ...

Put that in your hash pipe and smoke it, Fabiola!

Most of them act like 3rd graders or less. I’ve often said that Sara would make a great kindergarten teacher.

"Why are the liberal media so aghast at her asking what they are thankful for?"

Because they're egocentric, malcontent morons, who only think in terms of "me, myself, and I."

I love it. Just love it. Put them on the spot. Make them denounce Thanksgiving on national television!

Just love it!
