She Has a Tortured Relationship with the Truth and Used the Bible to Defend Trump’s Horrific Family Separation Policy

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following news that Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House, government accountability organization Restore Public Trust released the following statement calling on corporate and academic America to keep their distance:

“Sarah Huckabee Sanders used the bible as a shield in an attempt to defend Trump’s horrific policy of ripping migrant children away from their parents as a deterrent to those seeking refuge at our southern border. Her toxic record and tortured relationship with the truth do not belong anywhere near the halls of academia or America’s corporate board rooms,” said Karl Frisch, a spokesperson for Restore Public Trust. “She poses a significant reputation risk to any institution that would consider welcoming her to their team.”

BACKGROUND

• Sanders Invoked Bible On Family Separation Policy: “It’s Very Biblical To Enforce The Law.” “White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders got into a tense argument with reporters on Thursday, telling journalists in the briefing room that it is ‘very biblical to enforce the law’ in response to questions about the administration’s zero-tolerance immigration policy. Attorney General Jeff Sessions cited the Bible earlier in the day to defend the administration’s controversial policy, announced last month, to criminally prosecute all adults who cross the border illegally.” [CNBC, 6/14/18]
