Sarah Sanders Calls McCain 'American Hero,' Won't Say if Trump Will Attend Funeral

Source: Mediate


by Tamar Auber | Aug 26th, 2018, 7:27 pm



White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders declined to say on Sunday if President Donald Trump plans on attending the funeral of Senator. John McCain (R-Az.)

-snip-

Responding to a shouted question by a reporter, Sanders first said that McCain’s death was a “great loss for our country.” She was then asked about Trump sending his condolences and if Trump planned on attending the funeral.

“I’ll keep you posted,” she replied.

The reporter then asked if she, personally, planned to attend the funeral.

“Absolutely,” she said, before calling McCain an “American hero.”

If he tries, I hope McCain's corpse bursts from its coffin and throttles him.

that we are now conditioned to accept that the pResident’s staff needs to constantly counter his boorish and oafish behavior.

Nobody cares whether or not SHS is attending McCain’s funeral. That is NOT a story. The story is that Shitler was ordered to not attend by McCain himself.

He is a bitter old man who only holds hateful feelings for anything and anyone who is not him. He is a disgusting human being, nothing else.

She is a very ugly person, and I mean it as a person, not the physical side of her, it is her soul that comes out ugly, its what I see in her eyes, which is a combination of sadness and bitterness.

I really wonder if anyone will want to hire her, besides Faux, after she is done from her duties in the WH. How can someone go on knowing that she lies every time she repeats what her boss commanded her to say, how can you look your kids in the eyes after knowing that you not only have lied but that you have done it in an ugly way, that you go on TV and insult people who are most probably smarter than you are? How do you tell your kids that what you do is right?

Some people may think they get away with the excuse that they stay because they can help slow down the mad man on the chair, but this woman does not have, and cannot use that excuse, all she does is pass the vitriol her boss orders. What a pathetic and unprincipled human being she is, and that is why I say she is ugly, its the inside that makes her that way.

The apple does not fall very far fro the tree. Who can forget her brothers who tortured dogs, who can forget her dad filled with hatred and going out to support the woman who refused to give a wedding license to gays.

Yes to what you are saying and perceiving. To me she also is one of the most abysmally unhappy looking people I've "been around" ever. Though I disrespect her for constantly and covertly and overtly lying all the time, I think the job she has chosen to keep is the hardest possible in that administration. Every single person who is not a psychopath (a person without shame or conscience) cannot do that job without losing their humanity and hardening to stone, in my opinion. For her own sanity's sake, she should have long quit.

A friend stood in my TV room and looked at her and said: "When I see her I envision her horizontally - slowly turning on a spit over a smoldering fire. Apple in Mouth."

She can lie without any regard to the truth because she has lived a lie her entire life. They share the same venue as Putin whose only Christianity is the phony respect for cross that he wears around his rotten neck. They are nothing more than cheap shysters running a scam.

He will either do something craven to take away from McCain's funeral, or use the funeral to do something bad that would normally get called out on, but will be drowned out my the media's coverage of his funeral. There most likely is no third option.

Better question:

"How does the Commander-in-Chief feel about being the only head of state, ever, to be banned from attending the funeral of an American war hero...?"

Suck on that, Sanders.

and then make a big deal out of forcing his large ass into the front pew. Finally, he'll just get up and walk to the podium and tell the mourners about his great electoral victory -- "Something this guy didn't do" -- and laud himself for the great economy, denuclearization of North Korea, and accomplishing more in one year than any president in history did in their entire time in office. He'll call himself "everyone's favorite president," and end with "No Collusion!" Then he'll wait for applause. And wait And wait.
