It has been 19 days since the last time Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took reporters’ questions for the “daily” White House press briefing, as an ABC reporter noted.
According to an ABC report, Sanders spent a combined three hours and 58 minutes behind the podium during 13 appearances for the entirety of June, July and August.
For perspective, per ABC: Obama administration press secretary Josh Earnest and his deputy totaled 39 hours across 35 on-camera press briefings during the summer of 2016. Bush spokespeople totaled nine hours and 24 minutes across 32 press briefings during the summer of 2008, per ABC.
No great loss… the propaganda is still getting out. The briefings don’t really reveal anything we don’t already know IMO
The Trump Administration has announced that they have succeeded to reanimating Ron Ziegler and he will succeed Sarah Huckabee Sanders as the Official Issuer of Non-Denial Denials.

On the one hand, I should be decently upset, if not for the violation of norms then at least because SHS is drawing a salary for basically doing nothing.
On the other hand, it’s not as if anything of value was lost.
White Bunker mentality means the pressure is effective, and that’s a good thing.
No reason because nothing has changed.
Same asshole in the White House ,same assholes protecting him.
