#EndorseThis: Jimmy Kimmel Says Buh-Bye To Sarah Sanders

Jimmy Kimmel is just as astonished as everyone else by Trump’s interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos — especially that exchange when he essentially invites the Russians (or the Chinese, or whoever) to help him win reelection in 2020. In the same interview, the president says his own FBI director is “wrong” to insist such offers of illegal meddling be reported to law enforcement.

But at least there’s something to celebrate this week: the imminent departure of press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who stopped doing her job three months ago. She’s going home to Arkansas at the end of June. Kimmel delivers a very special farewell to the woman whose abusive mendacity from the White House press podium became its own legend.

“She’s a special lady,” Kimmel admits. And he knows just who (or what) can take her place.

Click for laughs.

Trump's Hour On CNN Was A Profile In Cowardice

Vanity Fair recently reported that several journalists from mainstream publications, including The Washington Post, NBC News, Axios, and Vanity Fair, were denied press access to Trump’s campaign events, seemingly in retaliation for their previous critical coverage. Meanwhile, Media Matters found that the campaign has granted press credentials to the QAnon-promoting MG Show and Brenden Dilley, a podcaster who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content.
