White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders continues to be a thorn in the side for the dishonest media hacks and fake news impresarios at the daily press briefing.
With the holiday season being one of pure misery for the left who gnash their teeth over the Christian roots of Thanksgiving and then stew for another month over the idea that there is such a thing as Christmas, the libs are wrapped tightly and ready to blow at the slightest hint that others may take joy in the season.
Monday must have been particularly galling with the White House receiving the first Christmas tree under the Trump administration – and by God, it will be called CHRISTMAS this year – but they then had to suffer the indignity of Sanders’ holiday treat.
Before she answered a question, she requested that the “reporter” who was asking it express something that he/she had to be thankful for as it was the last briefing prior to the long Thanksgiving weekend.

Via BizPac Review “Right before Thanksgiving, Sarah Sanders turns White House presser on its ear with new rule”:
In a light-hearted moment during what can often be a contentious time, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders began her last press conference before the Thanksgiving holiday by asking reporters to follow her lead in stating something they were thankful for before asking their questions.
“This will be our last press briefing before the Thanksgiving holiday in this room so I want to share a few things that I’m thankful for,” said Sanders. “And I think it would be nice for you guys to do so as well before asking your questions.”
Leading by example, Sanders listed her family, faith, and military members before pivoting to the reporters in the room.
“Obviously, you probably know, and it’s not secret, that I’m clearly very thankful for all of you here in the room, and I think that goes without saying,” Sanders said as a few reporters laughed.
“And I’m certainly thankful for the incredible privilege of serving this president and the American people,” she said.
Then it was reporters’ turn.
“If you want to ask a question, I think it’s only fair since I’ve shared what I’m thankful for, that you start off with what you’re thankful for,” said a smiling Sanders.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders asked reporters to say what they're thankful for–a common Thanksgiving tradition. But liberal Twitter bashed Sanders with ad hominem attacks and claims she was threatening the freedom of the press. https://t.co/oW5ASHu2La

And to nobody’s surprise, the left was just apoplectic and here is a very small sample from Twitter.
Thankful to former Chronicle colleague @CeciliaVega of @ABC for sharp/needed response to hokey WH request for reporters to say what they're thankful for: "I'm thankful for the #FirstAmendment"

I'm thankful that by 2020, you, Trump and his entire regime will be replaced and part of the ash heap of history, Sarah.
Anyway, you were saying? https://t.co/qeE8tiEWEY— Steve Marmel (@Marmel) November 20, 2017

Why I love @AprilDRyan; tells condescending Huckabee Sanders she's thankful for 20 years in that seat and the chance to question Sanders "every single day." Adds "I hope you felt the passion of my thankfulness." pic.twitter.com/Wy8nKZ1leH

So much hate during a season of thanks and joy.

Pity the poor families who will have to sit down to a holiday dinner with these self-indulgent crybabies in two days.
