Sarah Sanders Gets Pilloried For Saying She’s ‘Never Seen People So Happy to Destroy a Kid’s Life’
“I’ve never seen people so happy to destroy a kid’s life.”
Those were the words of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday night. Appearing on Hannity, Sanders was speaking about the response to the Covington Catholic viral video.
Her comments did not escape the notice of the twitter-sphere. Pundits, politicians, and others wasted little time bringing up various administration policies and personal acts from President Donald Trump which seemed to run very much afoul of her statement. Notably, Trump’s crusade to have the death penalty imposed on the later-exonerated Central Park Five was brought to the fore, as was the administration’s child migrant separation policy.
Here’s just a small sampling of the reaction:

You can only say this with conviction if you do not see black children as people. https://t.co/bVFQLcYEbg

Hey Sarah. Check out how this one rich asshole tried to have five innocent boys executed and took out a full page ad but has never apologized when it was found to be false. You might recognize that signature since it’s your scum of a boss. pic.twitter.com/H4VVczZCbn

@PressSec I guess the more accurate quote is to destroy a “white kids life” because you were all super happy to rip children from parents daily at the border, literal psychological torment.

STFU @PressSec. You have destroyed more kids’ lives than you nor King Turd can count. Climb back under your MAGA rock. https://t.co/pBBal4zsRs
