Huckabee Sanders Defends Trump's Dictatorial Divisive Comments As 'Always Appropriate'

Trump's press secretary defended Trump vitriolic attack of the NFL and its players, telling the press. "I think it's always appropriate for the President of the United States to defend our flag," and for those "who fought and died to defend it." Jingoism is MAGA! After Huckabee's opening remarks, Fox News' John Roberts asked, "Given the response the president has gotten in the last 48 hours even from Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, who believes what the president said on Friday night was very divisive, does the president regret at all describing these players who take a knee for the national anthem as S.O.B.s who should be fired?" Okay, this is a funny question for many reasons. Not funny- ha-ha, but sad because Trump has never backed away from any divisive statement he's ever made since he's been in office. She replied, "Look, this isn't about the president being against anyone - " I think demanding players be fired and calling them 'sonsofbitches' is being against a whole lot of people, Sarah. "- but this is about the president and millions of Americans being for something, being for honoring our our national anthem and honoring the men and women who fought to defend it, " she said. She then read off General Dempsey's statement against not standing for the national anthem. Roberts continued, "Did the president go too far in referring to the players as SOB's who should be fired?"read more

  • Colorado governor signs “for-cause” eviction protections into law. Here’s what they’ll do.
    Denver Post, Friday - 04/19/2024 - 04:24 PM

    Gov. Jared Polis signed “for-cause” eviction protections into law Friday, making Colorado the sixth U. S. state to enact the policy that’s aimed at blunting displacement of vulnerable tenants. The law, passed by the legislature late last month, effectively gives tenants a right of first refusal to renew their leases. That protection, supporters say, will insulate renters from discriminatory or retaliatory nonrenewals from landlords, who may want to rid themselves of a tenant who complained about an apartment’s condition. “This is the right thing to do,” said Democratic Rep.
