Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg called Sarah Huckabee Sanders a "fat slob" in an interview on Monday after the White House press secretary criticized earlier comments he had made during a series of unusual interviews.
"If Sarah Huckabee wants to start debasing me, she's a joke. OK, fine, yeah, she's not attractive. She's a fat slob, OK, fine," Nunberg told NY1.
"But that's irrelevant. The person she works for has a thirty percent approval rating, okay? So if she wants to start attacking me, she can do that, that's fine. But we know that's a joke," he said.
Sanders ripped Nunberg's comments during the White House press briefing, calling them incorrect after the fired aide suggested that special counsel Robert Mueller might have something on President Trump.
Nunberg earlier had told NBC News that the special counsels line of questioning insinuated to me that [Trump] may have done something wrong.
I definitely think he doesn't know that for sure because he's incorrect, Sanders said. As we said many times before, there was no collusion with the Trump campaign. Anything further on what his actions are he hasn't worked at the White House. I can't speak to him or the lack of knowledge that he clearly has.

(51,613 posts)I am sure she has been called a lot worse. I know I have called her every horrible, insulting word in the English dictionary as well as a few in Italian. She is a lying, insulting, condescending person and every sentence out of her mouth is worse than the last. She sure can dish it out but she can't take it. Hmmmm, that reminds me of someone else in the W House.

I learned the words for "prostitute" and stuff along those lines. Swearing was healthy for her, she lived to be 103. You should have heard what she called Nancy Reagun and of course she used all the appropriate gestures.

They cooked up a storm. Lots of the ethnic [European] women were no nonsense. My grandmothers were like that. [Slovak.] Mb that's where I get my gumption from. 🤗

(20,253 posts)You think I was making fun of her physique or looks?
The Italian family I knew would call someone an 'eggplant' if they were doozy bots. Has nada, zilch to do with how they look.
Check it out b4 y'all call people out for something.

(29,069 posts)Bigman Pigman cheered on Nunberg's trashing her looks -- "He tells it like he sees it" -- and you congratulated her on her fine posts.
sprinkleeninow
(20,253 posts)And she understood that.
This whole so-called administration is a colossal three ring circus.
I'm not defending this Nunberg. He got pissed by stuff said about him and fought back. Mb he's a fat slob. Mb I'm a fat slob.
Would it have been more palatable if she was called a whore seeing she's prostituting herself for the drumpf and co.? I didn't do that. Whattabout a depiction of her and Sister Halibut? I said the word 'eggplant'. Nowheres nearing offensive.
whathehell
(29,069 posts)that the only critiques of women you can imagine are about their looks "fat slob" or their sexuality "whore". Again, sad, but predictable.

(20,253 posts)Females/the woman--equal to males.
They have the brainpower that equals or can surpass that of males. Some of their accomplishments can be outstanding and leave male counterparts in the dust.
They are not sex object commodities and 'should be' treated with respect and admiration for their non-physical attributes.
They (females/the woman) is a spectacular creation of beauty, INSIDE AND OUT. They can be caring, tender, thoughtful and warmhearted while also possessing aggressiveness in a righteous manner.
Females/the woman, true reflections of the idea of 'service'. An 'ikon' of stewardship in and on the earth. Endowed with a certain 'wisdom' that only she is gifted with.
I love and enjoy the males I am close to and those of 'bosom' buddy-ship. (Don't pick at 'bosom'. Abraham's 'bosom' is the Scriptures.) Ya know why? They got a good amount of 'femininity' in them. And that is quite appealing.
My tea is getting cold so I'll leave it at that.
whathehell
(29,069 posts)but it doesn't change what you said. . Sorry.
sprinkleeninow
(20,253 posts)'A ripe eggplant' in Italian equals a vegetable that is doozi potz. Phonetically said by Italian friends that knew what they meant when they said it.
Finis with this. No apologies.
whathehell
(29,069 posts)As for the eggplant reference, nice try, but we left that back when you asked if I'd rather you call Sanders a "whore".
Have a nice evening. .

melman
(7,681 posts)is now that's he's reversed himself and said he will talk to Mueller, this makes him somehow on 'our side'. You see a lot of that kind of thinking here lately. But this is a guy who calls Roger Stone his mentor. He's not on 'our side' and he never will be.

whathehell
(29,069 posts)First of all, she's overweight, but not grotesquely so, and she does have a pretty face...This doesn't mean I "like" her -- It means I have a pair of eyes and something called objectivity.
I.think what many really hate her for -- and can't seem to express it in anything but sexist terms -- is that she's unflappable. She keeps her cool and, whether you like what she says or not, is always in control.
SHe's much better, in that regarard, than "excitable boy". Sean Spicer.

For the same reason, Huckabee-Sanders should be criticized for her character -- NOT her gender.

(29,069 posts)defended an attack on her looks by asking me if I would rather he "called her a whore"
I said it was interesting that the only way he was able to criticize a woman's actions was by attacking her looks or her sexuality -- neither of which has a thing to do with her character or judgement. That's where that came in.

These guys are absolute FREAKS, losers from the get-go who have, like Hitlers crippled, overweight and psychopathic lieutenants, found acceptance in politics that directly disrupt and destroy others lives.

GusBob
(7,286 posts)She is one of those hypocritical holier than thou Christians who think that God is on their side so they can do no wrong.
I have dealt with people like that my whole life and I fucking hate them right off the bat. There is a special place in hell for her.
Trump is a liar no doubt. To me a person who knowingly spreads another person's lie is worse than the liar. The haughty condescending way she does it makes me hate her more
I don't know why you bring up Spicer, he was a fucking joke of a failure that nobody took seriously, including himself. He didn't reek of evil like SHS
JI7
(89,255 posts)you can tell he was uncomfortable .
but SHS lies so easily with that fucking attitude you mention. like she has the protection of god or some shit.
also i feel like she is representative of so many of the idiots who support him and without who he would not be president.

and see that as a fat dork with a receding hairline, he has NO business trashing her looks.
Beyond that observation, let me be a straight shooter and tell you that only the stupid think an attack on someone's appearance constitutes legitimate criticism.

(17,984 posts)All that trash talk was just him trying to prove he is on the "right side". It's pretty funny actually in a pathetic way. Let's just say the attempt fell flat when he grew misty eyed over Stone.
