The Untold Truth Of Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Sarah Huckabee Sanders made a big splash when she took over the role of White House press secretary in July 2017. Replacing Sean Spicer, Sanders quickly made a name for herself, gaining infamy in the media for her brusque attitude and testy interactions with reporters. Responsible for briefing members of the press and answering their probing questions about President Donald J. Trump and his administration, Huckabee Sanders also has another mission. As the official White House spokesperson, she attempts to maintain good PR for Trump & Co., even if it's not always so easy. There's little wonder that Huckabee Sanders has found herself in the spotlight as the subject of much public and media scrutiny.

For Sarah Huckabee Sanders, defending the president has become an art-form. The Arkansas native picked up the position of White House press secretary when Sean Spicer resigned after months of public ridicule (who was that photo of the inauguration crowd fooling?). Since then, Politico has claimed that Sanders has become a trusted confidante to Donald Trump, whose presidency has been plagued by lawsuits, allegations, and a record amount of staff turnover.

President Donald Trump's former press secretary, Sarah Sanders, has written a new book, and she's spilling ALL of the tea! According to The New York Times, the memoir is an account of her time working with Trump as well as her possible plans to run for governor of her home state, Arkansas.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders may be the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, but she didn't become a prominent public figure until she was appointed White House press secretary for President Donald Trump's administration. Standing front and center at the daily briefing podium means Sanders represents Trump and the executive branch, answering reporters' questions to the best of her ability, though many have accused her of deflecting and being rather curt with her responses. She also staunchly defends the president — no matter the situation. As Trump's "mouthpiece, or whatever part the lies come out of" — as Stephen Colbert describes her — she staunchly defends the president, and that has ruffled some feathers among the press and a diverse array of celebrities.

In April 2020, Kayleigh McEnany was named President Donald Trump's new White House press secretary, replacing Stephanie Grisham (who replaced Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who replaced Sean Spicer), per The New York Times. It's the biggest stop yet in McEnany's meteoric career, and one that seems like a foregone conclusion and a logical next step for the rising conservative star.
