Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) tore into CNN’s David Axelrod for saying that his daughter, outgoing White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, will be remembered as a “habitual liar.”
Huckabee told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum that he was “shocked and surprised” at the former top Obama campaign adviser’s comments before claiming that CNN “pay[s] people to hate President Trump.”
“I’m really shocked and surprised that he would go there to that degree. But again, he’s a CNN contributor. What is he gonna do?” Huckabee said. “That’s what they pay them to do, so I guess he earned his paycheck on that particular segment.”
Huckabee's remarks came after Axelrod slammed Sanders's legacy during an appearance on CNN, claiming that her time as press secretary will be remembered for “defending the indefensible, and not being truthful with the American people.”
“In this job, she was called upon to choose between her fidelity to Trump and her fidelity to the truth. And she chose Trump,” Axelrod said after Sanders announced her resignation. “Her legacy is one of defending the indefensible.”
Huckabee fired back shortly after, saying “people that don’t like Donald Trump don’t like my daughter.”
“And it’s not that they don’t like her, because most of them don’t even know her,” he said. “They just don’t like President Trump, and that’s unfortunate, because a lot of us do like him and we’re grateful for what he’s doing.”
Sanders announced her departure from the Trump White House late Thursday afternoon, marking the end of a rocky run as Trump’s top spokeswoman. Sanders, one of the longest-serving members in the Trump administration, often battled with the press corps and faced numerous accusations about her credibility.
Then added we shouldnt be surprised: "CNN pays people to voice their hatred of President Trump.”
David Axelrod is director of the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.
How did Axelrod get that gig?
Did he bribe the wrestling coach?
Sorry, but while Sarah isn’t a bad sort, daddy was a rotten Governor and utter disaster for the AR GOP.
Same way Bill Ayers got his position at the University of Illinois - Chicago, and how his wife got her position at Northwestern, and how Elizabeth Warren got her ‘gig’ at Harvard Law School, etc., etc.. Academics has become infested with ideologues. Collectively, it has become a cesspool.
He is a smarmy scumbag.
Wonder how many death threats a day she gets?
He pretends to be moderate from time to time, but he is a marxist from birth, and suckled on his communist mom's teat that gave red milk.
He will never change.
Sarah has just been fantastic. She is so much smarter than those media turds. She was a perfect match for this President. She never had to spin; she just shoved reality down the throats of the media. The left can not stand their fake reality bubble being poked at. They put their fingers in their ears and start screeching lies, lies. That is because at some point one sharp prick and their bubble will burst along with their sense of sanity.
WOW - shall we revisit who the press secretaries for the Clinton administrations were and the ones from the obozo administrations? That would be a contest to watch!
I think even THOSE press secretaries would be embarrassed to think that anyone found them credible...
This is CNN.. The Completely Nutzo Nutwork
Where No Propaganda Goes to Waste.
and the Beat Goes On!!
