White House : 'Resistance' op-ed writer should resign
None
The White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, says the author of a "resistance" op-ed published by The New York Times is a "coward" who should "do the right thing and resign."
Sanders says the author —identified only as a senior administration official -- has chosen to "deceive, rather than support, the duly elected President of the United States." She also accuses the individual of putting himself or herself ahead of the will of the American people.
Sanders also says the Times should apologize for publishing it.
In the piece published online Wednesday, the official sounds an alarm about Trump's "amorality" and "impetuous" leadership style. The writer adds that Trump aides are aware of the president' faults and are working in opposition to "do what's right even when Donald Trump won't."
