Sanders would like to be remembered as “[transparent and honest](https://boingboing.net/2019/06/14/sarah-sanders-hopes-shell-be.html)”: > [@SHS](#): > > I hope that [the way I am remembered] will be that I showed up every day and I did the very best job that I could to put forward the president’s message … to do the best job that I could to answer questions. To be transparent and honest throughout that process and do everything I could to make America a little better that day than it was the day before. Dear Sarah, It will not be that. It will not be anything like that. You didn’t even manage “showed up every day”. You were not even in the same solar system as “transparent and honest”. And America is worse off for your efforts.

> [@aceplace57](#): > > It was a hard job and also a vital one. Somebody has to explain the Adminstration’s policies as clearly as possible. Allow me. The policies of the Trump administration are to manipulate the resources of the United States government in ways that benefit Donald Trump. The primary limits on how much Trump will consume are his incompetence and laziness. Other members of the administration feed off the scraps that Trump doesn’t use. Sarah Sanders did not seek to explain this as clearly as possible. She did the opposite and worked on concealing this as much as possible. I will agree that trying to hide how terrible Donald Trump is at being President is hard job. But it’s not a vital one. Sanders volunteered to do it because that was the scrap she was able to grab on to. ---

Sanders supposedly went 94 days without holding a press briefing. I don’t think her job was easy, and perhaps she deserves some credit for gumption and chutzpah. But if she hopes to be remembered as fair and transparent than perhaps she should have acted more fairly and with more transparency. I wouldn’t want to be a press secretary, much less focus on a one-person audience. ---

Now that she’s left the administration, will they let her back into the Red Hen? 😃 ---

I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas - she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well done! Arkansas is stupid enough and racist enough to elect her. I pity the resident exceptions to that particular rule. ---

She had the easiest job in the world. I could see how it would be hard if you think she had to make sense of the many contradictory statements that came out of the administration. However, she never made an attempt. It was just blatant lie after blatant lie and fuck you for questioning it. I could walk out on stage and say the sky is green and if you disagree you’re shameful. That’s not remotely difficult. ---

Well, if there had been a White House spokesman/woman who really told the truth, they’d be fired within hours or days, and we’d be at Spokesperson No. 700 by now. Would be kind of chaotic. ---
