After facing several questions about a payment from Trump attorney Michael Cohen to porn actress Stormy Daniels, and President Donald Trump’s silence on Daniels’ allegation of an affair, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders complained on Tuesday that reporters asked “the same question over and over and over again.”

“I don’t think it’s silent when the President has addressed this. We’ve addressed it extensively. There’s just nothing else to add,” Sanders said when asked about Trump’s silence on the allegations. “Just because you guys continue to ask the same question over and over and over again doesn’t mean that we have to keep coming up with new things to say. We’ve addressed it. We’ve addressed it extensively. And there’s nothing new to add to this conversation.”

Earlier in the briefing, Sanders declined to answer reporters’ questions, simply repeating that Trump has denied Daniels’ allegations and referring further questions to Cohen.

    … cause there is a different answer each time.

    No Sarah, it just means that it is about time you started telling the truth.

    We realize that telling the truth is a difficult challenge, but you should at least try it sometime.

  3. WTF not, Hamhock? It’s a storm that’s not going away, at least until Mueller-time…

  4. This is about what happens when you yell at a dog that pulled the roast chicken off the table. It’ll respond the same way every time you yell at it. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t do it.

  5. Fair enough. But we have some questions about Stephanie Clifford.
