Sarah's story

Mike Huckabee

April 19, 2019 |

I’m sure I’ll be asked about the foaming-at-the-mouth media demands that my daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders resign as White House Press Secretary for allegedly “lying” to reporters.  It stems from a section of the Mueller report.  Here’s the story pure and simple:

 

She said at a press conference that “countless FBI agents had lost faith in (FBI Director James) Comey…” When Mueller asked her where she got the number “countless,” she said several had told her that, but the phrase “countless” wasn’t an exact number, thus she called it a “slip of the tongue.”  The other part of what the media is trying to gin up into a controversy, the phrase “made up from thin air,” was not her comment.  It was the characterization of the investigator writing the report.  That is NOT her quote, although the media are treating it as such. 

 

FBI agents (former and current) did express their disgust with Comey, but the investigators took Sarah’s use of the word “countless” and tried to snare her, saying she couldn’t say “countless.”  Real reporters might have settled this by asking some former and current FBI agents their opinion of Comey.  I'm sure they'd get an earful.

 

So to sum up: alleged “professional journalists” who have just spent the past two years dividing Americans and undermining trust in the White House and our election system by blaring at us around the clock that President Trump colluded with Russia and was going to be arrested at any minute – and who are even now promoting the nonsense that he’s guilty of obstructing justice, when all he ever did was complain and think about replacing people he thought were abusing their power (but he didn’t do it and instead cooperated fully) – are now claiming that my daughter doesn’t deserve to hold her job because she allegedly misled them by using one word that wasn’t literally true, depending on your interpretation. 

 

If that’s the standard we hold press secretaries to, then what are the standards for “professional journalists?”  Because I think an awful lot of them need to switch to the food service industry.

    I'd like to wake up the people in this country. France has given up control of much of their country to the Muslim people, and the same thing is happening in the UK at present. Now it is starting within the U.S. as area's are becomming populated by Muslim. If the religion was a religion and not a Cult it would be one thing but NO religion preaches within their faith they are to do away with the infidels (that is anyone that doenot beleive as they do). This is in their Koran over 100 times. As in most religions when people get down and out they turn to their good book, reading and studing it, trying to adjust their lives and ways to their book of faith. When the good book within preaches, as the Koran does, to go out and kill all infidels (non believers) You now have created a radical Muslim.
    There are Countries that have refused to allow Muslims or the Koran into their countries, as they can see the hand writing on the wall. In the U.S. we are seeing colleges allow exceptions to rules for Muslims that other religions are not allowed. It's the start to problems comming.
    I ask all to Just give this some thought as the future gets changed and not always for the better.

    No, would you really want to have food served to you by them? They probably would never remember to wash their hands!!!!
    I hope that Sarah writes a book and sets the record straight!!! With all of the "crap" books hand lately about Pres Trump and politics, her's would be extremely refreshing!!!
    Yours truly,

    I have been watching politics closely for most of my 73 years. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is, hands down, the best press secretary of all time! She is honest, represents MY President with integrity and handles those jackasses, that call themselves reporters, like the professional that she is! Don't worry about that young lady! You and your wife did an awesome job raising her and she can handle herself just fine!!!

    The democratic party is in trouble and are targeting any and everyone that they think has any respect from the people. By doing such things as jumping all over Sara for such a silly reason, they are weakening themselves even more. That causes the Republican voters to dig in a little deeper in their determination to reelect Trump.

    Sara is a national treasure!

    We pray Sarah will NEVER resign! She is the absolute BEST at her job and is a true soldier holding up the standard of truth. We pray for her to be strong, for wisdom, endurance and her protection.

    Love, love, love Sarah Huckabee. Wish we could hear you every day, but we don't always get TV coverage. How about a newsletter like your dad's - or coordinating with his. Not that you don't already have lots to do every day of your busy life. Just know that we love you and trust you and hope you'll stay at the White House as long as Trump does!

    If Sarah had said "some" instead of "countless" the investigators and left field media would still have disparaged her.
    "Count...less". means to me means it is "un-countable whether 2 or more". Keep up the good work Gov. Huckabee and you too Sarah Huckabee.

    Dear Governor Huckabee,
    You really don't have to defend your daughter to us. We know her quite well. I believe she's the best press secretary ever!! How she can keep it ALL TOGETHER I can only attribute to our prayers & her faith! The rebel media & Demon-rats are grasping at straws because they're unraveling while falling apart at the seams! They're trying to make something out of nothing!! Everyone under Trump's umbrella is a target! WE THE VOTERS OF #MAGA KNOW THAT! GOD IS IN CONTROL!! WE SEE HIM BLESSING US ALL (Yes, even the haters!) WITH PROFITS, TRADE & LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT IN DECADES!!
    I can understand as a parent how you wanna protect your li'l girl... Governor, she's got this! You have nothing to worry about! ???????? Absolutely nothing to defend her from. She's done NOTHING WRONG! Don't allow the shallow, indecent, manipulating haters to dictate!! They're NOT IN CONTROL! DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE NOR GIVE THEM A PLATFORM!! That's what they want! GOD IS IN CONTROL EVEN THO IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT!!?????
    God bless her, you & all of us! #KMAGA ?????????

    Your daughter Sarah does not lie to reporters, with the immature reporters she deals with she just needs to tell them a story
    like a 1st-grade teacher to keep their attention span from wandering.

    Sarah's, slip of the tongue comment, was more believable than anything coming out of their reports! Thank you both for the hard work.

  • Joyce McGraw

    Sarah, please don’t resign! You are a blessing at this awful time in history. We will be praying for you! (I wish we had committed to pray more for you before!)

    That is so funny--a "reporter" from a lying msm network calling Sarah Sanders out for "lying!!!" Let me see, SHE isn't allowed to say "countless"--I guess has to come up with an absolute, precise number, but members of congress, especially the outspoken democrats in front of the cameras can get by with actually making up numbers about an issue--and msm doesn't call them out on that. Guess the scripts they get (democrats and msm) don't include actual numbers. Sarah Sanders does a GREAT job!! Someone who isn't impressed or cowed by the prestige of the msm who try to make people think they are the smartest people in the world, with the most well-thought out, meaningful questions. Carry on, Sarah!!!

    To Lena Horne, Steve and Don Dixon, I am nearly positive you are not educated beyond ( I should say kindergarten) high school. Countless numerous, many; let's see what the thesaurus says about "many" Synonyms for MANY:

    abounding, alive with, bounteous, bountiful, copious, (aw there it is) COUNTLESS, crowded, divers, FREQUENT, innumerable, legion
    lousy with, manifold, multifarious, multi fold, multiplied, multitudinous, myriad, no end of, numberless, numerous, plentiful,
    populous, prevalent, rife, SEVERAL, sundry, teeming, umpteen, UNCOUNTED, varied, various.

    Now that you have been educated on the different words basically meaning the same thing you can go back to your corner with your blankie and either your binky or thumb in your mouth and leave Sarah alone. She is doing an awesome job and has been honest in every way.

    You along with the media and radical left are falling right into Russia's plan of dividing this country; it is because of that division we are in the shape we are in. We as a country are weakened because of hatred., and Russia is sitting back laughing because they succeeded.

    As a retired FBI Special Agent, I can verify/confirm that Sarah was absolutely correct, accurate and truthful regarding that statement. To this day their WERE and ARE "countless" FBI Special Agents and Professional Support Employees who consider Comey to be the worst thing that has ever happened to the FBI. He has been and continues to be an embarrassment to all those who serve with FIDELITY, BRAVERY and FOR GOD'S SAKE...INTEGRITY.

    I am highly educated, including post-graduate doctoral studies. My vocabulary consists of thousands of words that I don't use on a daily basis. And yet, socially acceptable words fail me regarding the "collusion collusion", and related machinations, of the Democrats and their flunkies. I really just want to stick my finger down my throat and throw up all over them.

    Why is it that your type of Christians never takes accountability for mistakes but covers it up with a lie, like your daughter? Of course she lied - she gets a hefty paycheck for lying every day for the President and you can tell she does it with glee. What you should have said was "of course she lied...I take pride in that...in our version of Christianity, we set all the rules of our life...we choose who we hate and who we love...we don't own up to our mistakes ever..accountability is not something we "do." She's an embarrassment, but quite as vile as the one she works for. We can take small comfort in the fact that you never even came close to being president. I hope after two failed attempts you've given up the notion, because America does not want you as president and never did - not after the activities you engaged in as governor.

    I so agree! I’m so over this lying media, and the lying Congressional Democrats. I’m sick of them turning all their traits and transgressions into to OURS! They KNOW they are lying and distracting from the crimes of the former administration. They are an embarrassment to our Country. The whole gang needs to be censured in Congress! They need to be made to SETTLE DOWN and behave.

    We NEED YOU right where you are Sarah.
    The enemy didnt hire you and they cant fire you.
    Still praying for you daily.


    Dont let them wear you down.
    You might use 2nd Cor.10:5. .."taking every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ".
    This has helped me deal with negative thoughts.

    Blessings.
    Dorothy
