Jennifer Rubin is called “conservative” by The Washington Post, where she writes a column called “Right Turn.”
But a simple glance at the columns she’s written in the least few weeks shows she’s anything but “conservative” (not to mention the fact that she’s called President Trump an “arrogant fool” and a “flat-out racist”).
So it really comes as no surprise that Rubin thinks Trump spokesman Sarah Sanders should be “shunned” by possible employers when she finishes her stint as White House press secretary.
“Sarah Huckabee Sanders is so concerned that people aren’t nice to her,” Rubin said on MSNBC’s Joy Reid on “AM Joy.” “And people like me think that — not that she should be harassed — but that she should be shunned. The reason is that she lies.”
“She attacks our free press and no respectable employer should hire her after this term,” Rubin continued. “Also, no university and no news outlet. She has lied and she has endangered the lives of reporters and that’s why she should be shunned. Not harassed — shunned.”
Rubin complained about Sanders’ refusal to condemn Trump’s continued criticism of “fake news.”
“We don’t have to put it [the press briefing] on television, we don’t have to put it on television live,” Rubin said. “If by some chance she utters some morsel of accurate information it could be fact-checked and related to the audience. The same thing with the rallies — no reason to put them on live television.”
Twitter didn’t take the whinefest lying down.
“Please don’t pretend Jennifer Rubin is a conservative. That is an absolute farce and so far from the truth,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-CA) wrote on the social media site.
But hey, says the Post, it’s a conservative saying these things. Yeah. A conservative who last month wrote a column headlined, “The GOP isn’t fit to govern.”
Fake news, Washington Post, fake news.
