Too much of a coward to show up to the White House Correspondent's Dinner himself Donald Trump is sending Sarah Huckabee Sanders instead.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will attend the White House correspondents' dinner this year in place of President Trump, the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) announced Friday. 

The news comes just hours after Trump himself said he "probably" would not be attending this year, the second year in a row he has skipped the annual dinner honoring D.C. journalists. 

"The White House has informed us that the president does not plan to participate in this year's dinner but that he will actively encourage members of the executive branch to attend and join us as we celebrate the First Amendment," the WHCA wrote in a statement on Twitter. 

"In keeping with tradition, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will represent the administration at the head table," the statement adds.

Well if you cannot have the Liar-in-Chief show up, I guess it is appropriate that he sends the second most deceitful person in his stead.

I don't even bother to watch any White House briefings anymore because the amount of lying is fucking overwhelming.

It is almost like Huckabee Sanders has an allergic reaction to the truth, and only occasionally does she slip and let a little honesty slip through.

Personally I hope that Michelle Wolf rips her to shreds during her opening act, and also spends an adequate amount of time ridiculing Trump for his cowardice in not showing up.

Cadet Bone Spurs claims that he would have rushed in to save those Florida school shooting victims even if he didn't have a gun.

President Donald Trump, who infamously avoiding serving in the Vietnam War by citing “bone spurs” in his medical examination, said on Monday that he would have personally intervened to stop Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz. 

“I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon,” Trump said during a meeting with the nation’s governors, according to Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller.

Trump’s remark came as part of a broader criticism leveled at Florida deputies who did not act to stop Cruz while he was murdering 17 people at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. He said Monday that the deputies “weren’t exactly Medal of Honor winners.”

He actually said this out loud.

This is the guy who lied about having bone spurs to get out of serving in Vietnam and who is frightened by the living symbol of America.

What an asshole.

We know this candy ass would have been lying in the fetal postion in a pool of his own urine if he had heard a single shot fired.
