The Trump administration just cannot admit that chief of staff John Kelly was caught in a bald-faced lie. Kelly’s defamatory swipe at Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson has been proven to be utterly baseless — by video and local press, and officially confirmed as a lie by PolitiFact. Kelly has thus far refused to apologize, despite […]

White House chief of staff John Kelly was caught in an ugly lie about a congresswoman. But instead of apologizing, the White House is defending him and saying it’s “highly inappropriate” to call out his lie because he’s a four-star general. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made the outrageous claim after a video proved that […]

The White House continues to blame everything and everyone, except Donald Trump, for the president’s neglect of dead soldiers for nearly two weeks. The latest excuse is bureaucracy. Asked at the daily press briefing why Trump took over 12 days to acknowledge the deaths of the four soldiers killed in Niger, press secretary Sarah Huckabee […]

Donald Trump and his White House are going to extreme lengths to defend his despicable treatment of a grieving military family. That desperation now includes attacking Rep. Frederica Wilson, a long-time friend of the family who mentored Sgt. La David T. Johnson when he was younger and is demanding answers about his death, as “appalling and […]

Donald Trump has disgraced himself by refusing to acknowledge the deaths of four troops killed in an ISIS ambush — and the White House has kicked into high gear to cover his behavior. The administration is orchestrating a smear campaign against President Barack Obama to cover up Trump’s callous treatment of the families of four […]

Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made it quite clear that the White House wants reporters to stop asking questions about Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s reported labeling of Donald Trump as a “moron.” But she may want to direct her annoyance to her own boss, who can’t restrain himself from talking and tweeting, rather than […]

The White House complained that Congress is taking too many vacations a day after Donald Trump capped a three-day weekend by playing a round of golf. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders complained about Congress being “on another vacation” instead of working to pass Trump’s legislative agenda. Sanders said Trump was “calling on Congress to get […]

Donald Trump has utterly failed to deliver on his threat to repeal Obamacare and harm the millions of men and women who have health care because of it. So he’s going to punish women directly instead. On Friday, his administration announced that he is rolling back the critical provision that covers birth control — a […]

Donald Trump’s response to the disastrous hurricane that devastated Puerto Rico has been belated, defensive, cruel, and pathetic. Among his many failures to appropriately conduct himself during the crisis, Trump has rabidly attacked San Juan’s mayor, Carmen Yulin Cruz, for begging the government to help save her people — who have been largely without food, […]

Donald Trump needs his vacation trips to Trump-branded resorts to conduct international diplomacy, particularly to pressure North Korea and prevent it from going nuclear, according to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Trump has spent 88 days of his 258 days in office at Trump properties, with 68 of those days spent at resorts […]

After the horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas Sunday night, Donald Trump again proved how incapable of real leadership he is. His bizarre offering of “warmest condolences” followed by a statement that neglected to even mention gun safety put his all too predictable inadequacy as president on full display. And just as predictably, his administration leapt […]

The Trump administration has literally laughed off concerns about working on gun safety legislation after the massacre in Las Vegas. During the daily White House press briefing, NBC reporter Hallie Jackson asked press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to respond to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), who called for Congress to “get off its ass and do something” […]

The NFL and many of the Americans who support the sports league have come out in opposition to Donald Trump’s attacks on players who are protesting racism. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made clear that the administration believes “every American” should support Trump’s horrendous position that an athlete who protests racism is a […]

The Trump White House further insulted NFL stars who are protesting racism and police brutality by taking knee during the national anthem by questioning their real motivations and suggesting that they should instead direct their protests toward individual police officers. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders presided over yet another contentious press briefing Monday, […]

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders may be the next administration official who needs to lawyer up as Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation accelerates. Specifically, Sanders may have placed herself in legal jeopardy by agreeing to be the White House point person for the nasty smear campaign it’s been running against former FBI Director […]

The Trump administration made yet another attempt to lie about the record of President Barack Obama, but it only took a few minutes for reporters to completely debunk it. During the daily White House press briefing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made the bold and false proclamation that Donald Trump has done “more for bipartisanship […]

The Trump White House is demanding that an ESPN reporter, who is a black woman, be fired for telling the truth about Donald Trump’s racist behavior. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that criticism of Trump from Jemele Hill, co-anchor of SportsCenter, is a “fireable offense.” Hill has been the subject of controversy […]

On the same day that Donald Trump unnecessarily decided to end a program that protects immigrant children, his White House is already blaming Congress for not fixing it. Trump started the day callousing teasing his plan on Twitter. Of course he didn’t have the courage to make the announcement himself. Instead, he sent Attorney General […]

More than a week after Donald Trump stubbornly insisted that some of the neo-Nazis and white supremacists who rioted in Charlottesville are “very fine people,” the White House still won’t say exactly who those people are. When press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders finally resumed daily briefings Thursday, after an extended vacation, not a single reporter […]

The White House has now confirmed that Donald Trump was involved in drafting his son’s misleading statement about his meeting with Russian operatives. The admission also proves that Trump’s personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, lied in multiple media appearances where he claimed that Trump was not involved. Sekulow said, “The president was not involved in the […]

The Internet has exploded in response to the insane remarks by Donald Trump’s new White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, which were full of extremely graphic and vulgar language directed at other members of the Trump administration. Reeling from the embarrassment and desperate to do damage control, the White House sent press secretary Sarah Huckabee […]

Donald Trump’s proposed budget includes massive cuts to the Department of Education, which he apparently thinks he can offset with a comparatively minuscule donation. As the Washington Post reported in May, the stark proposal includes “a $27 million arts education program; two programs targeting Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian students, totaling $65 million; two international […]

Donald Trump’s new press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, threatened to abruptly stop the daily press briefing after she was peppered with questions about the administration’s new ban on transgender military service. Sanders’ unusual threat came in response to a question from American Urban Radio Networks reporter April Ryan, who was the target of several hostile […]

Responding to questions about his sexist attack on MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski, White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told an outrageous lie and claimed Donald Trump has never “promoted or encouraged violence of any kind.” The truth is, he has. Many times. During the presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly called on his protesters to […]
