Poor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, denied credit for baking a pie by those nasty people in the Washington Press Corps! However trivial this particular issue is, the larger issue of Sanders' credibility remains. What can one think of a presidential press secretary willing to say that the threat of terrorism renders insignificant the lie the president offered by retweeting bogus videos from a well-known fascist British website. She asserts that it is OK for the president to infantilize the people by lying in the furtherance of what he thinks is a good cause. He decides! To accept that idea is to relinquish all claims of accountability of government to the citizenry, thereby inviting the demise of democracy.
