White House: Being Redheaded Does Not Make Someone A Russian Spy

When asked about the arrest of Mariia Butina, the Russian national charged with acting as a foreign agent, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders pivoted to the brief frenzy of speculation earlier this week that Butina was present during an Oval Office meeting with President Trump.

“But just to clarify, there was massive media hysteria yesterday over confusion between that individual and a White House staffer, which I think shows, frankly, the outrageousness and the desire to find the negative in everything that this President does,” she said after dodging the question.

“Just because somebody is redheaded, they were accused of being some sort of spy for Russia. I think that this has gotten totally out of control,” she continued. “You guys need to take a little bit of a step back, slow down, and quit going after the Trump administration on every single thing that takes place.”

  1. WTF? Why is this lying hayseed back?

  2. She might want to consider a long vacation somewhere. Siberia would be nice. The reporters are being seriously rowdy today. And she is not doing too well handling it. They are getting to her.

  3. Is she part of the higher intelligence Trump referred to ?

  4. It’s called a conspiracy Sarah, and we don’t know how far it extends. Who else besides Mr. Trump in the WH and GOP has ties to the Kremlin?

  5. “You guys need to take a little bit of a step back, slow down, and quit going after the Trump administration on every single thing that takes place.”

    Deal. Just as soon as the Trump administration stops fucking up every single thing that takes place.

    Fair?
