Sarah Sanders Apologizes And Corrects The Record

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I have so much respect for Sarah Sanders. I don’t know how she does it. I’ve always considered the White House press secretary position to be one of the toughest out there, politics-wise. But Sarah has it extra hard. MSM LOATHES Trump. They go out of their way to attack him, his administration and his family members. Heck, they personally attack Sarah Sanders.

One of the main reasons I love Sarah? She’s not a bullsh*tter. She says it like it is, and when she makes a mistake, she OWNS it.

During Tuesday’s briefing, Sarah said this:

“This President since he took office, in the year and a half that he’s been here, has created 700,000 new jobs for African-Americans That’s 700,000 African-Americans that are working now that weren’t working when this President took place. When President Obama left, after eight years in office, he had only created 195,000 jobs for African-Americans.

That wasn’t quite right.

Apologies for @WhiteHouseCEA's earlier miscommunication to @PressSec.

But you know what? Sarah owned it.

Correction from today’s briefing: Jobs numbers for Pres Trump and Pres Obama were correct, but the time frame for Pres Obama wasn’t. I’m sorry for the mistake, but no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for African Americans created under President Trump https://t.co/EXGvbliwlS

I’m glad she issued a correction instead of sweeping it under the rug. I’m actually surprised she doesn’t mess up more often, honestly. It’s tough job.
