Sarah Sanders was recently asked to leave a Virginia restaurant because of the administration that employs her, and the restaurant owner said that it was also because several LGBT people work there and they were uncomfortable serving her. Keep in mind that Sanders’ boss, his Attorney General, and essentially the entire Republican party he controls are harshly critical of anyone who is LGBT and have worked to allow discrimination against an entire group of people. Sanders’ Bible-thumping, bigoted father is one of the worst of the bunch. Sanders tweeted;
“Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so.”
Yep, she actually tweeted that, and violated federal law about using her official account to do so. This is the same Sarah Huckabee Sanders who, as the White House Press Secretary, routinely lies and repeats lies, refuses to answer questions and evades answering truthfully and openly when the press attempts to get her to do her job, and is often rude, condescending and insulting to what she and her boss call “Fake News.”
Trump promised to “drain the swamp” and it appears he has – but only so he could refill it with the contents of a moral cesspool. That seems to be the only place he and his entire administration, and the party he now controls, can function. Before we can ever hope to “Make American Great Again” we’ll have to hope somehow we can make it clean again.
