Sarah Sanders calls revelation that she lied to press “a slip of the tongue”

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was on Hannity Thursday night after the Mueller report revealed that Sanders lied about the FBI’s reaction to the James Comey firing . During the interview, she admitted to Sean Hannity that she wasn’t fully truthful in her press conference after Comey was fired.
“Look, I acknowledged that I had a slip of the tongue when I used the word “Countless,” but it’s not untrue.”
Sanders formerly stated that “countless” FBI executives were thankful Trump fired Comey . On May 10, 2017, the day after Comey was fired, Sanders told reporters, “I think most of America had decided on their own that Director Comey was not the person that should be leading the FBI, as evidenced by the numerous comments that we’ve seen from Democrat members in the House and Senate, Republican members, members of the FBI, and people across the board.”
However, in a redacted report presented by Attorney General William Barr to Congress and the public earlier today, it was revealed that Sanders admitted that her statements regarding FBI reaction to Comey’s firing were not true.
“Sanders told this Office [of the special counsel] that her reference to hearing from ‘countless members of the FBI’ was a ‘slip of the tongue.’
It was also revealed that her statements that FBI agents had “lost confidence” in Comey were made in “the heat of the moment ” and “not founded on anything.”
On Hannity, Sanders maintained that Comey should have been fired.
“ James Comey was a disgraced leaker who tried to politicize and undermine the agency he was supposed to run,” she explained.
Twitter has exploded with reactions from journalists calling for Sanders to be fired.

As for Sanders, she continues to stand behind President Trump.
“ Firing James Comey remains one of the best decisions that the president made,” Sanders told Hannity. “The only problem is, he could have done it sooner and maybe it would have been a better thing. But absolutely the right decision and every day since that he’s proven he was right all along.”
Devil speak with forked tongue.
She's a liar just like her 'Reverend' father.
Sarah definitely lost all credibility as spokesmodel for Trump and Company...
Many felt that way about her the minute she started the job--before she ever uttered a single word.
Nothing changed.
What has changed is Sarah has lied to our faces hundreds of times...
Many felt that way about her the minute she started the job--before she ever uttered a single word.
The cockeyed liar Sarah Sanders is 300 pounds of bullshit in a 200 pound bag...
Yes, it is untrue, that's the whole point!!
Now she's lying about what she lied about after being caught by Mueller for lying about it.
The only perplexing thing about this is the plain and simple fact that the most important prerequisite to be in 'the realm of the Trump' is an absolute use of the noun, adjective, verb and adverb of ( the lie ).
Even more simply put, Pavlov was right and so was his dog.
She is a fucking liar, pure and simple. She is not to be believed, at any point, on any topic.
Just like her father. Remember that incident when daddy said she was stalked and harrassed at that restaurant. She learned at daddy's knee
