Sarah Sanders refuses to condemn Trump ally who called for Hillarys execution

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders refused to condemn former Trump staffer Sebastian Gorka's comment that Hillary Clinton deserves to be executed.
White House
............................................
Citing a debunked conspiracy theory the Trump administration is circulating about Clinton, Gorka said, This is equivalent to what the Rosenbergs did, and those people got the chair. Think about it.
Instead of immediately condemning the statement, Sanders laughed and said, Im not going to comment on Sebastian Gorka, but then added that there is a lot of cause for concern and the conspiracy theory should be looked into.

REPORTER: I want to ask you about a comment that Sebastian Gorka made on Fox News. I know that he doesnt work for the White House anymore, but he seems to be very still involved and knowing whats going on here. He was talking about the uranium one deal and Hillary Clinton and said, If this had happened in the 1950s, there would be people up on treason charges right now. This is the equivalent to what the Rosenbergs did. And those people got the chair. Think about it. Does the president agree with that statement?
SANDERS: I havent even seen those comments. Im not going to comment on Sebastian Gorka or validate that. I can tell you that we do think that there is a lot of cause for concern regarding that deal and certainly think it should be looked into. But Im not going to comment beyond that on somebody outside the administrations comments.......................

OP
The concept of decency and the tRump organization should never be associated with one another.

Expecting decency from that group is like expecting trickle down to actually work. Delusional and stupid.

Yet it seems some people can't help but hope.
Like all those times people hoped he would "pivot".

Of course these ghouls aren't going to condemn one of their own kindred spirits (even if the Nazi Gorka isn't working out of the White House any longer), but at least ask the question.

if they believe that collusion with Russia is treason...wonder what they'll think when their guy is proved to have done it. Actually their guys, as in a lot of them.
Note: I'm against the death penalty, even for that horrid orange thing, but it is still fun to throw stuff like this back at them.
