Sarah Huckabee Sanders Humiliates Herself One Last Time As She Panders to Trump
Donald Trump honored outgoing White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders at a rally on Tuesday where he officially announced his 2020 reelection campaign.
Trump invited Sanders on stage just under an hour into his speech in Orlando, Fla., to a deafening ovation, calling her a “warrior” who would make a good governor of her home state of Arkansas.
“We’re going to miss her,” Trump said.
Sanders, who is making her final presidential trip, said that serving as press secretary “has truly been an honor of a lifetime” and predicted Trump would win a second term.

“He made America great again and continues to make America great,” she said. “He’s going to have an incredible six more years.”
Trump announced Sanders was leaving her post after a turbulent, two-year run as the president’s top spokesperson. She presided over the end of the daily White House press briefing but became a star among Trump supporters for her fierce defenses of the president in past briefings and on cable news.
Sanders also appeared on stage with Trump at a campaign rally in April, when the president joked he would have to fire her because she was becoming “too popular.”
Her two rally appearances in the past two months outnumber the number of formal press briefings she has held in that time. The last White House press briefing occurred on March 11.
