CNN political analyst April Ryan called for the firing of White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Thursday, claiming Sanders “lied” to the media following the release of the Mueller report.

And Ryan is not alone.

In May 2017, following the turbulent firing of FBI Director James Comey, Sanders told reporters that “countless” FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey despite one reporter’s assertion that the “vast majority” of them supported his leadership.

According to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office, Sanders told investigators her claim was a “slip of the tongue” and was “in the heat of the moment,” admitting that it was not founded on anything.

Ryan, who is also a White House reporter for the American Urban Radio Networks, blasted the press secretary on Thursday night for “lying” to the American people.

"Not only does she not have credibility, she lied. She out and out lied…the American people can’t trust her," says @AprilDRyan of Press Sec. Sarah Sanders.

“Not only does she not have any credibility left, she lied,” Ryan told CNN anchor Erin Burnett. “She outright lied and the people, the American people can’t trust her. They can’t trust what’s said from the president’s mouthpiece, spokesperson, from the people’s house. Therefore, she should be let go. She should be fired. End of story. When there is a lack of credibility there, you have to start and start lopping the heads off. It’s ‘Fire Me Thursday’ or ‘Fire Me Good Friday,’ she needs to go.”

The CNN pundit suggested that since Donald Trump “won’t take the fall” that Sanders might instead.

“Sarah plays a dangerous game in that room… The game is dangerous because she is lying to the American public,” Ryan continued. “Then, on top of all that, she says the press is fake when she’s faking reports from the people’s house. She’s calling us fake? We’ve had colleagues who’ve had to move from their houses because of threats. I have to have security because of being called ‘fake’ and a ‘loser’ and all sorts of things from that White House. It’s time for her to go.”

And Ryan wasn’t the only one calling for Sanders to be fired or to resign. Take a look:

1. @PressSec Sarah Sanders should lose her job today

2. She should have lost it long ago

3. She should never have gotten the job

4. No network should have her on

5. If a network does have her on, she should be made to answer for these lies and “slip of the tongue” BS https://t.co/pEjHqfRFfL

In a real presidential administration, a press secretary who admitted LYING to the press would have already been fired.

But in this administration Sarah Sanders was simply doing what she was told to do. So she still has her job.

Sarah Sanders admits in the Mueller report she lies to the press and the American people. She should resign today.

When a spokesperson for the government lies outright to the people, it’s no longer a presser. It’s called propaganda. Such a person has no place in government, and no credibility before the American people. Sarah Huckabee Sanders should resign.

The White House @PressSec deliberately and maliciously lied about the FBI to the American people. She must resign. https://t.co/8lhAzclXcy
