If you missed Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s press briefing today, let me give you the tl;dr:
— She provided some nonsensical parable about journalist drinking beers to justify giving tax breaks to the wealthy
— She said that all of Paul Manafort’s crimes occurred before he joined the campaign
— She distanced the campaign from George Papadopoulos, who she insisted was a “volunteer” campaign worker who took one meeting.
— She said that all of these indictments against Trump associates are proof that Hillary Clinton colluded with the Russians.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the briefing:
What the hell is Sarah Huckabee Sanders talking about? 2 Trump associates indicted, 1 plead guilty and she’s singing “99 Beers on the Wall”ðŸº

It ends with tax evasion.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the indictments have nothing to do with Trump and that she's happily married to Kevin Spacey#HuckabeeSanders

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is making it sound like George Papadopoulos wasn't on the campaign. His Linkedin says he was adviser for 11 months.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders trying to make jokes today, but her voice is shaking and the jokes are falling flat. Reporters not biting today.

*Donald Trump Jr. is indicted.*

SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS: Look, the president has several children. Donald Jr. is just a minor son of many.
6 months from now, Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be telling us Donald Trump was in a volunteer position and had a very limited role within the campaign.

Papadopoulos is described as "proactive cooperator." Former prosecutor tells me that sometimes means "wore a wire." https://t.co/nQyVCbXy6x
