Sarah Sanders finally leaves White House, Trump distracts from Mueller's testimony

Sarah Sanders left her job as presidential press secretary last Friday, descending from a mountain of lies, says cartoonist David Fitzsimmons of the Arizona Daily Star.


Charles P. Pierce of Esquire called Sarah Huckabee Sanders "an embarrassingly bad liar and an embarrassingly arrogant countrified know-nothing for a criminal gang...."



Cartoonist Adam Zyglis of the Buffalo News: "I'm stepping down to spend more time with my family," Sanders said.


Pierce, the author of four books, condemned the "elite political media" for putting together farewell drinks for Sanders, whom he labeled as "an arrogant liar on behalf of a corrupt administration."



The decision by The New York Times International Edition to bar political cartoons left a bad taste in the mouths of cartoonist Christo Komarnitski of Bulgaria and many others. The decision came after The Times published a cartoon showing President Trump in a skullcap being led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was depicted as a guide dog wearing a Star of David.

Jimmy Margulies, former editorial cartoonist for The Record of Woodland Park, notes President Trump is a master of distracting many Americans from Democrats' call for impeachment and the expected testimony of Robert Mueller -- delayed a week and now scheduled for July 24 -- who led the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.


President Trump's threats to go to war with Iran, and his demilitarized zone photo op with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un have distracted Americans from Democrats' call for impeachment.


Cartoonist David Whamond lampoons "the game show president," who is eliminated when he fails to profess his innocence.
