LIVE VIDEO: White House Press Briefing

Jennifer Rubin writes for the Washington Post:



If Sanders was really trying to do her job honestly, she would come forward the moment she learned that she had been given false information. Instead, she plays 20 questions with the press, waiting to reveal new information only when a series of questions manages to corner her.

Even worse, instead of responding to questions about misstatements, she frequently retorts by accusing the media or others of acting unfairly. Sanders apparently has no moral qualms about misleading the American people over and over — despite the oath she took to the country, not to the president.

In deliberately misleading or passing on misleading information, Sanders is not serving the American people. She is thwarting democratic government and enabling Trump’s attempts to free himself of investigations.
