We’re not the only ones totally fed up with the constant lies coming from Trump and the White House. Conservatives are getting sick of it too.
Jennifer Rubin is a popular conservative columnist at the Washington Post. And on Friday, she absolutely torched White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
For years, Rubin has been the head writer for the Post’s “Right Turn” blog. She apparently has finally reached her limit with the blatant lies coming from this White House.
This is no small thing that conservatives like Rubin are speaking out against the lying. On Thursday, Fox News’ Neil Cavuto also took Trump to task for his lies.
Rubin began her tweet storm on Friday morning saying, “In deliberately misleading or passing on misleading information, Sanders is not serving the American people. She is thwarting democratic government and enabling Trump’s attempts to free himself of investigations.”

All six of her morning tweets attacking Sanders were amazing. Here’s the others:
For members of the media, however, the question becomes whether their expression of outrage on Thursday was a momentary spasm or whether they are no longer going to take her seriously. https://t.co/riWnpYun3R

If a background source repeatedly lied to them, they’d stop using that source. It’s no different with an on-the-record and on-air source. Unless the news conferences are going to be televised with a disclaimer for the audience https://t.co/riWnpYun3R

why put her on camera to mislead them and the American people? There is no purpose to questions if the answer could as easily be a lie as the truth. https://t.co/riWnpYun3R

o long as press briefings are a platform for Sanders and/or the president simply to make stuff up, the media has no obligation to play along. https://t.co/riWnpYun3R

The media is obligated to ask the White House for comment on its reports and to relay its statements, but it is not obligated to give Sanders an open mic to accuse them of lying and, worse, to deceive them. Maybe they should just stop showing up. https://t.co/riWnpYun3R

It’s doubtful that Trump will ever lose the blind support of people like Sean Hannity. But it is encouraging that there are some conservative voices in the media, like Rubin and Cavuto, who are finally speaking out against this constant lying.
