WATCH: Sarah Huckabee Sanders Says Trump Harassment Accusers are Lying


Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed that all the women who've made sexual harassment allegations against Donald Trump are lying during Friday's press briefing.

During last week's news conference in the Rose Garden, Donald Trump denied a sexual misconduct allegation made by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice, and the subpoena he received from her attorneys during his campaign.

“All I can say is it's totally fake news. It's just fake. It's fake," he told the press. "It's made-up stuff, and it's disgraceful, what happens, but that happens in the — that happens in the world of politics."

In response to Trump's statement, a reporter asked the White House Press Secretary about the women who've made allegations against the president:

Sarah, obviously, sexual harassment has been in the news, at least 16 women have accused the president of sexually harassing them throughout the course of the campaign. Last week during a press conference in the Rose Garden the president called these accusations fake news. Is the official White House position that all of these women are lying?
 

Eager to move on to the next topic, Sanders responded in a single breath, “Yeah, we’ve been clear on that from the beginning and the president has spoken on it."

The subpoena dates back to March, but due to the Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct fiasco and the victims coming forward using Twitter's #metoo campaign, the harassment allegations towards the president have taken on a renewed interest in the media.

Zervos accused Donald Trump of forcibly kissing her and touching her breast when she met him in his Beverly Hills Hotel room in 2007, but she didn't provide details of the assault until a year ago, just prior to Trump clinching the presidential seat.

Trump issued a statement last year dismissing her allegations:

To be clear, I never met her at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago. That is not who I am as a person, and it is not how I've conducted my life. In fact, Ms. Zervos continued to contact me for help, emailing my office on April 14 of this year asking that I visit her restaurant in California.
 

But the Internet remembers.

 

Some wondered about Sanders' lack of a conscience from behind the podium.

 

The subpoena filed last month seeks all documents related to nine other women who have been sexually assaulted by Trump. His attorneys are trying to dismiss Zerovs' case for what they believe is a "politically motivated" intent.

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
