Do NOT Ask Sarah Huckabee Sanders About Reporters Being Booted From the EPA, Whatever You Do
When asked during her Tuesday briefing about the reports from multiple outlets that at least two reporters were barred from an event with EPA chief Scott Pruitt this morning—and an AP journalist physically removed—Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders seemed to get a bit flustered by the questions, insisting she wouldn’t weigh in on “hypotheticals.”
When she was asked for comment on those events, which transpired at an EPA event on water contaminants, for the first time, Sanders responded in her usual equivocating way: “Certainly we weren’t there and were in other meetings here,” she said, speaking for the White House at large.
