Sanders: 'Book's complete fantasy'

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the tell-all book by Michael Wolff is "complete fantasy." (Reuters)

For the second straight day Thursday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders fought back against Michael Wolff's Trump tell-all. And in doing so, she may have finally killed off what's left of irony in the White House briefing room.

“The president,” Sanders told reporters, “believes in making sure that information is accurate before pushing it out as fact, when it certainly and clearly is not.”

Yes, we all know what a stickler Trump is for making sure what he says is accurate before he says it. It may be his defining trait.

In all seriousness, it's not just the nearly 2,000 false and misleading things Trump has said as president. It's that the White House and Trump himself have acknowledged that Sanders's standard doesn't really apply to them.....................................

Or to every Trump speech ever.

After all, a laugh track can make even something blindingly stupid appear to be hilariously funny.

Imagine the lies and warped thinking she was nurtured with growing up as Mike Huckabee's kid. To her, the crazy is what is real and everyone else is wrong. Facts have never ever been a part of her life. They only get in the way of her life. Much like Trump.

I'd wager Trump's parents were as delusional as he is.
