White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders punched back — HARD — on that CBS News report we told you about last night that said she’s leaving the White House by the end of the year.
“Does @CBSNews know something I don’t about my plans and my future?” asked Sanders. “I was at my daughter’s year-end Kindergarten event and they ran a story about my “plans to leave the WH” without even talking to me. I love my job and am honored to work for @POTUS.”

Heckuva job, CBS:

And this is an interesting thought:
Wonder if that Sanders quitting scoop was one of those Miami Vice fake intel to flush out the leaker deals. cc: @SonnyBunch

Now, CBS News did say they tried to contact Sanders so we’d like a few more details from both parties:
… "both sanders and shah declined to comment to cbs news when reached wednesday evening." https://t.co/XUrd0xTkJw

And many other blue-checks don’t believe her anyway:
Is this actually a denial? https://t.co/ln9E2AdVMI

So is CBS actually wrong or is this just another thing that will be denied and eventually come true here in a couple days/weeks? These are the issues that arise when the WH press shop fails to tell the truth on a regular basis. https://t.co/e2WYXbYmEu

Including the always classy Rep. Ted Lieu of California:
The below tweet by @PressSec doesn't actually deny the contents of the @CBSNews story.
But what's more interesting is why would White House sources leak this information about Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Raj Shah? It clearly weakens them. https://t.co/HT7ABiNA8b

CBS says Sarah Sanders’ ready to quit.https://t.co/92RQehNeug
She responds indignantly but doesn’t deny it.https://t.co/qPKG76qoyR
It’s all very Trumpian.

We. Shall. See.
Prediction: Sarah will leave at the end of the year and when she's asked about this non-denial statement, she'll deflect and pivot in a condescending way. https://t.co/ELWkb8nOuX

And we’ll end it with this cheery fellow:
