Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried to defend her boss on Wednesday the only way she knows – by turning things already confusing that he said and lied, to create an even more confusing mess.
After the first terrorist attack in Manhattan since September 11, President Donald Trump embarked on a campaign to politicize the tragic death of eight people to put pressure on a stricter immigration policy. Asset unique The diversity visa lottery program, which Sayfullo Saipov, Tuesday terrorist suspect, became a legal resident in the United States in 2010.
The terrorist has entered our country through what is called the “diversity visa lottery program”, a beauty of Chuck Schumer. I want merit.

It was Sanders’ work during the press briefing on Wednesday to give meaning to Trump’s political response to the tragedy on the last day in October after refusing to “politicize a tragedy” after a shooter opened fire during a concert in Las Vegas on the first day of the month. However, all that the White House press secretary could do was misleaded the press on what Trump had said.

The White House press secretary then tried to justify Trump’s position on the diversity visa lottery by claiming that there was “no verification system” during the program.
Sanders has just said that there was “no verification system” for the diversity visa lottery, which is not true. – Philip Bump (@pbump) November 1, 2017
I know it’s redundant: but Sarah Sanders lies at this time when she says that the Lottery of the Green Card has no verification. – Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) November 1, 2017
Rationalizing Trump tweets and disabled remarks is probably the most difficult work in Washington, but Sanders has completely taken the deformation of his boss to protect him from the negative press.
Sanders cleans Trump’s tweets: “The president did not blame Senator Schumer and does not think that the senator is responsible for the attack.” – Philip Rucker (@philiprucker) November 1, 2017
As republican senator Jeff Flake even pointed out, Schumer was in fact part of an eight gang who tried to delete the visa request in question.
In fact, the 8 gang, including @SenschumerDeleted the diversity visa program as part of wider reforms. I know, I was there https://t.co/qqfjzpyrzc

Sanders also obtained the basics of the program that Trump offered to eliminate badly.
“The fact that we have a lottery system that decides randomly that obtains the best opportunity in the world … and to give this at random, not to have a verification system, to have no way of determining who comes, why they are there, and if they want to contribute to society is a problem,” she said to defend Trump’s call to end the Visa de diversity.
But as the journalists from the room pointed out, an immigrant selected as part of the lottery program is verified by the State Department. When Sanders did not lie on Trump’s erroneous beliefs on immigration on Wednesday, she refused to condemn slavery.

And continued the tradition of the White House of Press Groaning:
