Mueller report reveals Sarah Sanders lied for Trump. It's time for her to resign.

Sanders isn’t Trump's White House press secretary as much as she is America’s main minister of propaganda.

By Kurt Bardella, NBC News THINK contributor

The job of White House press secretary is more than just a spokesperson advocating for the president of the United States. It is a position that embodies the trust that should exist between the American people and their government.

The press secretary serves as a living, breathing reminder of the free press’ constitutionally protected right to question the most powerful office in the world. More than that, the White House press secretary is the person we turn to in times of emergency or tragedy for the truth. We must have faith that they will understand when the politics of the day should be suspended, and when the national need for unfiltered and untainted information takes precedent.

It is not an easy job, as Thursday’s release of the redacted version of the 448-page Mueller report makes clear. And not everyone is up for the task.

The Trump administration’s current press secretary, Sarah Sanders, has been asked to simultaneously serve two masters: the president of the United States and the White House press corps (and through them, the American people.) And she has failed.

But why on earth would she resign? She was hired to be Propaganda Minister. Nothing trump has ever done or said in his entire empty, deceitful, corrupt, complicit, cowardly, and compromised life has ever been truthful. She's doing her job. In fact, he'll probably give her a raise.

She should be taken into custody. NOW. She needs to spend Easter Weekend in a jail cell.

They can start the interrogation on Monday. Why ruin the prosecutors’ weekend?

should sue her and the administration in court. Sue her both personally and professionally. Hurt them in the pocketbook.
