Sarah Huckabee Sanders Belittled on Twitter for Defending Trump’s Mika Brzezinski Tweet

One Twitter user says her “primary role in the White House Press Operation is to make Sean Spicer look slightly less ridiculous”

Where’s Sean Spicer when Sarah Huckabee Sanders needs him?

The principal deputy White House press secretary and daughter of ex-Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee probably should have played Thursday’s press conference a little differently than she did. Instead, Huckabee Sanders defended President Trump’s nasty tweet about “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski, in which the leader of the free world said Joe Scarborough’s on- and off-camera partner was “bleeding badly from a face-lift” during an interaction they had right around New Year’s Eve.

Trump also called Brzezinski “Crazy” and “low I.Q.,” and labeled her fiancee Scarborough “Psycho.” Yes, he fit that all — AND a shot at their MSNBC TV ratings — into 140 characters this morning.

Here are Trump’s tweets, which Huckabee Sanders excused to the media as her boss “fighting fire with fire.”

Millions can play at that game. Here’s the best shot we found fired at Huckabee Sanders on Twitter:

And below are nine more pretty darn good ones.
