Sarah Sanders “Can’t Guarantee” Donald Trump Has Never Used The N-Word

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a briefing on Tuesday that she “can’t guarantee” that President Donald Trump didn’t use the N-word, after claims this week came up Trump used the racial slur.

On Tuesday, former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman released her book, Unhinged, in which she claims to have a tape of the President using the N-word. Asked by reporters whether Trump had ever used that word Sanders said that she has never heard him using it or anything similar. “The President addressed that question directly,” she said, adding, “I’ve never heard him use that term or anything similar.”

When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!

Sanders defended the President, saying his description had “nothing to do with race and everything to do with the President calling out someone’s lack of integrity.”
