Ms. Huckabee Sanders

Newsweek reports:

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a “serial congenital liar” who buries the American people “in an avalanche of horse shit” and must know in her soul that what she’s doing is wrong, a GOP strategist and media consultant said Monday night.

 

Rick Wilson piled on Sanders after the White House mouthpiece defended Trump’s use of the insult “Pocahontas” during a White House reception honoring the Navajo code talkers, a group of Native American World War II heroes. Sanders said the term was “not a racial slur,” even though Native Americans absolutely see it as one.

 

Sanders also flipped Trump’s comment into a further attack on Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the target of Trump’s insult. She repeated Trump’s dubious claim that Warren lied about Native American heritage “to advance her career.”

 


Hear the huckster, Ms. Huckabee Sanders
as she pompously proffers and panders
to cover the butt
of the resident nut
whose victims she viciously slanders.

Nevertheless

Dear Kamala, Liz, and Maxine:
The old boys think you’re bossy and mean.
You’re forsaking the feminine touch
by expressing opinions and such.

Yes, you women who serve on the hill
are depicted as strident and shrill.
They would like to send everyone home
who is missing a Y chromosome.

Nevertheless …

Passionate female persisters,
heroines to the resisters,
you are the reason we’re hopeful
reason will win in this rope-pull.

Strengthening every muscle,
giving the carpers a tussle,
courage and truth are your purview.
Don’t let the dunces deter you!

She Resisted


“The Senate has silenced Elizabeth Warren.

And by doing so, majority Republicans just handed the liberal firebrand a megaphone — further elevating President Donald Trump’s fiercest and most prominent critic in the Senate and turning her into a Democratic hero.”


Silencing Elizabeth Warren backfires on Senate GOP, CNN


 

They shushed her, but still she insisted.
They threatened her, but she resisted.
So the minions of hate
Threw her out, locked the gate.
Nevertheless, she persisted.

Yes, nevertheless she persisted
and many more women enlisted
to strengthen the cause
and fight without pause
with raised hands defiantly fisted.
