White House: All Women Who Accused Trump Were Lying

From Friday's White House Press Conference: Sara Huckabee Sanders responding to a question from CBS News reporter: All of the 16 women who accused Donald Trump of sexual harassment were lying:

Question from CBS News reporter Jacqueline Alemany:

"Obviously sexually harassment has been in the news. At least 16 women accused the president of sexually harassing them throughout the course of the campaign," Alemany said. "Last week during a press conference in the Rose Garden, the president called these accusations 'fake news.' Is the official White House position that all of these women are lying?"

Sanders response:

"Yes. We've been clear on that from the beginning, and the president has spoken on it," Sanders replied.

    This isn't a court of law.  Trump isn't facing criminal charges.  We can base our conclusions on the facts we know and Trump's own admissions, rather than bury our heads in the sand and crying about an imaginary "lynch mob witch hunt!"

    sometimes it is OK to "lock her up" or, even, call to give  "the chair."  That does not count as a lynch mob.

    a good time to press these charges.  with the building storm over the subject of harrassment, after all he admits it on video, and the convergence of the first charges coming from Mueller throwing them off balance.

    i certainly hope they are pressed.

    Donald Trump is the most powerful person on the planet right now. That's a good reason for many of his victims to still be unheard from yet.

    isn't she? I used to think it was hard to watch Spicer, but Sanders makes me want to hurl things, in between muttering, "are you fking kidding me?"

    What a job. What a true believer you'd have to be to say the things she does every day. She apparently has no idea she makes things worse, reinforcing the truth she tries so hard to contradict.

    As for Bush 41, just because he's old and in a wheelchair doesn't render the accusations unbelievable.

    He must gin up a way. I'd love to not have the press conferences live, but what does the narcissist do then to get 24 hr coverage of every mouth breath breathed in the White House?

    Miss Huckabee-Sanders demeanor degrades the idea of a useful news briefing and insults reporters and viewers alike.  And, after Mr. Kelly's fascist-like entertaining of questions at his last news conference, no one should show up.  All to cozy, anyway, with Trump hosting the children of the press at a Halloween Oval Office party.  Hard not to feel indebted to someone who is so nice to your little ones.

    Halloween Oval Office party for those children and thought it was badly handled.  The kids kept looking at the rest of the treats in the cardboard box in hopes of more.  IMO he should have had those treats in some type of Halloween container.  He's totally insensitive towards others, even children.
