I have no sympathy for someone who lies for Trump

The Reviews Are in, DHS Sec Nielsen Bombed at Her Briefing on Child Separations: 'My God' She's 'Bad"

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders held a briefing today amidst growing outrage over the Trump administration policy that separates child migrants from their parents at the southern border.

She brought a special guest to help out: Kirstjen Nielsen, the Secretary of Homeland Security, who faced a remarkably brutal grilling from an invigorated White House press corps.

It’s surprising Sanders even showed up. CNN reported ahead of the briefing that she didn’t want to hold one on Monday, given the current outrage over Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy. (Sanders denied this during the briefing).

Nielsen’s portion of the briefing was a 20-minute bloodbath, in which reporters pummeled her with questions about the policy that she defended over the weekend, before denying its existence. At one point, New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi played audio, published by ProPublica earlier, that recorded border patrol agents mocking weeping child migrants separated by their parents....................................

Nielsen didn’t just double down on the administration’s decision to rip children away from their parents at the U.S. border and throw them into cages; she played aloof at times, flippant at others, and completely disillusioned and uninterested during a highly emotional press conference.

President Mein Führer von SpankDat is excluded from the “most hated in the White House” game because he would win every time. Before Monday’s press conference with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on the youth internment camps—which used to be big-box department stores or warehouses before becoming makeshift youth prisons—Sarah Huckabee Sanders, aka Suckabee, was the runaway winner for most hated member of the White House, partly because she’s the mouthpiece for a deplorable administration, but mostly because she’s deplorable.

It’s as if Nielsen decided that she was tired of the Morris Day of the Trump administration having all the fun and decided that she was going to pull her best Prince-singing-the-“Beautiful Ones”-in-Purple Rain to steal the crown, and she did.

In fact, Nielsen may have carved out a whole new asshole lane for herself and may have reserved her own cage in a big-box warehouse in hell after Monday’s press conference

Her charming, cheerleader-blonde-goes-to-Washington-and-makes-good mask was ripped off, and she looked more like our imaginings of someone committing crimes against humanity.

of some of these women laughing in relaxed groups showed them looking pleasant and nice, like Nielsen's normal social face.

Response must be relentless. She must be forced to go through hell and resign in ignominy. She must be a pariah for the rest of her life. May she end up destitute, begging for charity, and be spit upon by those very people she held in cages.
