Here’s the quote in context, which is buried deep in Grynbaum’s article:
An evangelical who reads from a book of Christian devotionals before every briefing — and the daughter of the pastor-turned-presidential-candidate Mike Huckabee, the former Republican governor of Arkansas — Ms. Sanders is an unlikely public face for Mr. Trump, a twice-divorced connoisseur of grievance.
Has any other press secretary ever had his or her religion questioned before as it relates to the job?

How many of the so-called journalists read Mein Kampf/Mao's Little Red Book/Rules for Radicals/.....(fill in your favorite here) everyday after they get out of bed?
Dunno, but SHS is pretty awesome, in my opinion.
That’s to steel her backbone to deal with a dishonest press.
Sounds like “Good News”....
.....Good News Indeed....
I like the use of “privately.” What was going through the reporter’s head when he added that? Is it supposed to suggest some secret plot to foist a theocracy on the White House press room? Or would he prefer that she do it publicly? Perhaps reading scripture at the start of each press briefing?
Oh My God!!! A CHRISTIAN!!! Has she been vetted? Checked for explosives? A real threat!!!
Yesterday and today a story about Hillary and devotionals has been out there. Apparently Hillary was allegedly sent devotionals every day on the campaign trail.
So why is this news? Sarah Huckabee reads devotionals, Hillary reads devotionals, and since Hillary does it ,then it has the stamp of approval by the liberals and medai, right???
To steel her backbone against the evil pressing in on her and Trump and others every single day. Go Sarah!
And I am sure SHS reads with great regard, the words of the 23rd Psalm, among the most powerful words of quiet encouragement to be found in any text.
The briefing room surely is the modern version of “the valley of the shadow of death”.
I sure hope she’s been vetted to the max. She’s an eeeeeeevil Christian and we can’t have that kind in today’s society......../s
“Has any other press secretary ever had his or her religion questioned before as it relates to the job?”
Sanders just recently posed the concept. Next, there will be a flood of questioning Christianity and politics, until the very concept is demonized and a politician will assure the electorate of his purity by promising that Christianity will NEVER influence his decisions. And will decry anyone who mentions Islamic terrorism.
It is known as incrementalism. Works every time it is tried.
Exactly.....
The only religion the left respects is Islam because Islam and the left have one thing in common, they both despise the United States of America
Her Christian behavior offends the atheist jews at the NYT. Those traitors would say nothing if she was muslim and prayed towards Mecca 5 times a day.
Oh the humanity! Shocking! Can’t someone arrest her immediately! Where is Mueller and why isn’t he looking into this!!!
Hillary's "devotionals" never mention the God of Moses or Jesus.
Go Sarah
Agreed, she is awesome :)
Glad she is on our side.
