Mod: Fox News'Neil Cavuto (of all people) came up with the following theory. It makes sense. When Donald Trump screws up, somebody else has to pay. Baby Don is never wrong.
Neil Cavuto offers theory behind Sanders stepping down (

Fox News host
Neil Cavuto floated a theory during his show Thursday that outgoing
White House press secretary might have stepped down over the fallout from
President Trump's recent interview with
George Stephanopoulos.
"The timing of this is odd,"
Cavuto noted. "Only, you know, just after the
George Stephanopoulos interview with the president, in which this hypothetical came up about '
Would you accept intelligence from a foreign source?' And the president, of course, reacted the way he did, said 'Yeah, I'd be open to it.' Maybe he's pointing the finger: 'Why did you get me into this,
Sarah Sanders?'
President Trump stoked furor Wednesday evening when
ABC aired footage of an exclusive presidential interview with
George Stephanopoulos, in which
Trump expressed willingness to "listen" to opposition research from foreign sources without necessarily telling the
FBI. The comment drew nearly universal condemnation from
Democrats, with some
Republicans expressing dismay, as well.
"Well, first of all, I agree with my other panelists, this is one of the toughest jobs in
Washington,
D.C.,"
District Media's
Beverly Hallberg later continued. "Especially in this role with one of the presidents it would be toughest to be press secretary for. He's had one of the most contentious relationships with the media. So for her to go out there and do an amazing job and how she's handled this. I do think there have been a few controversies. I wouldn't be surprised if the rigor of this job, combined with her being a mother, is one of the reasons she's saying right now, 'I definitely want to take a step back and do something different.'
But I also wouldn't be surprised to find out that president wasn't happy that he had this interview with
George Stephanopoulos because of all of the controversies surrounding that. Who knows if that is her call? We probably won't find out. But I agree that's probably an interview he shouldn't have taken."
