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.
Its surprising Sanders even showed up. CNN reported ahead of the briefing that she didnt want to hold one on Monday, given the current outrage over Trumps zero tolerance policy. (Sanders denied this during the briefing).
Nielsens 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.

Before Mondays press conference with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on the youth internment campswhich used to be big-box department stores or warehouses before becoming makeshift youth prisonsSarah Huckabee Sanders, aka Suckabee, was the runaway winner for most hated member of the White House, partly because shes the mouthpiece for a deplorable administration, but mostly because shes deplorable.
Its 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 Mondays press conference
