November 27: White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday denied that President Donald Trump was using a racial slur in referring to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as "Pocahontas."

Trump used the term again Monday to describe Warren, during a White House event for Native American military veterans.

Asked why Trump would choose to use a phrase that many people find offensive, Sanders said that "what most people find offensive is Senator Warren lying about her heritage to advance her career." She added that seeing Trump's use of "Pocahontas" as a racial slur was a "ridiculous response," because it was not.

"I don't believe that it is appropriate for [the president] to make a racial slur, or anybody else," Sanders said, but "I don't think that it is [a racial slur] and I certainly don't think that was the president's intent."

November 28: Does White House press secretary Sarah Sanders tell the truth from behind the podium in the press room?

[Anthony] Scaramucci responded: "I think she does the best of her ability to tell the truth but also to protect the President, and so I think that there's a fine line to draw between those two things."

What Scaramucci seems to be suggesting is that telling the truth and protecting the President are two conflicting missions. And that Sanders' ultimate loyalty has to be to Trump, not the truth.

May 5: The West Wing shouting match was so loud that more than a dozen staffers heard it.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders cursed and yelled at White House counsel Donald McGahn during the February confrontation, according to two people familiar with the episode. Misleading statements about the domestic abuse scandal that felled staff secretary Rob Porter had dragged the administration into a maelstrom of chaos and contradictory public statements.

Exasperated, Sanders told McGahn she would not continue to speak for the administration unless she was provided more information about Porter’s situation.

The dispute, which erupted in a hallway outside deputy chief of staff Joe Hagin’s office, was resolved after Sanders received the clarity she sought, the people familiar with the argument said. Hours later, Sanders returned to her lectern to field queries from a skeptical press corps, though her answers still left reporters with more questions.

Stephanie Wilkinson said she believed Ms Sanders worked for an "inhumane and unethical" administration.

Sarah Sanders said she would continue to treat those with opposing views "respectfully"

August 14: President Trump on Tuesday escalated his attacks on Omarosa Manigault Newman, the former White House aide who is on a tour promoting her new memoir. Newman says in the book that she heard a tape from the set of “The Apprentice” in which Trump used the N-word. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Tuesday that she “can’t guarantee” that Trump did not use the slur on a recording. Meanwhile, Trump lashed out again on Twitter, calling Newman a “dog ...”

August 14: White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended her boss' right to call his former protege, Omarosa Manigault-Newman, a "dog" on Twitter on Tuesday morning.

"I think the president is certainly voicing his frustration with the fact that this person has shown a complete lack of integrity, particularly by the actions following her time in the White House," Sanders said Tuesday afternoon in a press briefing.

She also said that Trump's usage of the word "dog" was not racial in nature. "This has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the president calling out someone's lack of integrity," Sanders said.

August 14: Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Trump Hates All Americans Equally

As President Donald Trump faced allegations of racism and cruelty on Tuesday, his press secretary stepped to the White House podium to deny only one of those charges... But her defense—that Trump has insulted people of all races, not just African-Americans—only underscored how the President and his aides have embraced his caustic attitude...

August 22: White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders repeatedly said Wednesday that President Trump “did nothing wrong” and that there were “no charges against him.”

“As the president said, we stated many times, he did nothing wrong. There are no charges against him and we have commented on this extensively,” she said during the White House briefing.

Sanders ignored numerous questions and essentially stuck to the script as reporters persisted in asking whether Trump lied when he denied on Air Force One that he knew about the payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

September 24: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump’s Battering Ram

What does the press secretary believe in—other than defending the President’s every word?

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, says that she never set out to be “the face of anything.” Most of her thirty-one predecessors came from careers in journalism or communications, but Sanders’s background is in Republican campaign management and strategy. A conservative Christian, she worked only with similarly minded candidates, such as the Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty and Senator Tom Cotton, of Arkansas. The other Arkansas senator, John Boozman, also hired Sanders, and he told me that she was adept at turning complex policy material “into words that people can understand without falling asleep.” These words were often pointed—Sanders whittled political messages into shivs.

... “Sarah had a keen understanding that you can’t let someone else tell your story. She knows the other side is going to paint you in the worst light, and that you have to dictate the terms.”

October 18: President Donald Trump appears to have taken more questions from the media than any commander in chief past and effectively replaced White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Trump has addressed almost 300 questions from reporters in the past 11 days, more than any other president of the United States within the same time frame, according to an ABC News analysis Thursday. Meanwhile, Sanders has held only two press briefings since Labor Day.

November 7: Sarah Sanders accused of circulating 'doctored' video of Jim Acosta’s interaction with White House intern

Acosta's press pass to access the White House was suspended "until further notice" Wednesday, hours after he engaged in a contentious back-and-forth with President Trump. A White House intern attempted to retrieve the microphone from Acosta, but the CNN reporter resisted and asked an additional question – and that’s where things get cloudy.

Sanders said the suspension of his press credentials stemmed from his "placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern." She called the behavior "absolutely unacceptable."

But many high-profile media members, including The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and CNN executive Matt Dornic, have accused Sanders of using a doctored video speeding up Acosta’s arm motion, as evidence.
