UPDATE: WH press secretary defends Trump post of anti-Muslim videos

Source: WBAY, ABC affiliate in Green Bay, WI

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders is defending President Donald Trump's posting of videos purporting to show violence against Muslims, saying he wants to "promote strong borders and strong national security."

Sanders said Wednesday that she was not sure how Trump found the videos, which he retweeted from the leader of an extreme far-right British group.

Asked if the president had a responsibility to verify the content, Sanders said: "Whether it's a real video, the threat is real and that is what the president is talking about."

In other words, bullshit is actually fact?

Just STFU Sarah.

I feel if he shot a person in the head, on camera, at halftime of the Superbowl, that would only elicit a "no comment" from that... person.

President was right to do this. I would say that she has lost all credibility, but that happened long ago.

This is absolutely not normal. I am glad that the British government spoke against this.

should be quoted over and over again because that is all they do. Lie, and the target is not the public, it is The Deplorable Cult he has motivated to lie and hate just as much as him.

Can you imagine real President, Obama's press secretary ever having to say that? And what would the media and RW reaction be?

"purporting to show violence against Muslims,"

The videos do NOT show violence against Muslims, but rather violence BY Muslims.

Later in the article the author gets it right...

"On Wednesday, Trump retweeted three videos from the account of the group's deputy leader, Jayda Fransen, purporting to show violence by Muslims."

Miss piggy loves pearls. Was it Jesus who said one should not cast their pearls before swine? I tried to post a pic but could not do it. Maybe someone with superior skills could.
