Cohn's exit

During a March 7 interview with Fox News, Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke out about several other issues facing the administration, including the recent resignation of economic adviser Gary Cohn.. "This is something that Gary has been talking about for some time," Sanders said, while adding, "He's been a member of the administration and he's going to continue to be a voice for president." When pressed on who will take Cohn's job, Sanders replied, "Obviously I'm gonna let the president make that announcement but he's got a number of people he can choose from."

Russian push back

Fox News host Bill Hemmer then pressed Sarah Huckabee Sanders on what Donald Trump plans to do to punish Russia over their reported hacking of the 2016 election, and what steps the administration intends to take to prevent further meddling.

Twitter reaction

Following Sarah Huckabee Sanders' interview on Fox News, critics of the administration wasted no time sounding off on social media. "Cohn is so disgusted with the POTUS that he has resigned...do you REALLY think he's still going to be a voice for the POTUS? Oh you live in la la land....in a fantasy world," one tweet read.

"Her words are as crooked as her smile," a Twitter user wrote. "Is this how the WH is going to try to convince Wall Street that Trump hasn't totally lost his mind?" a tweet wondered. "She can’t help herself from lying just put the stock market ticker up beside her," a follow-up tweet added.

"More likely scenario is he put on his life jacket and jumped," a social media user wrote in reference to Gary Cohn's resignation. "No he’s not, he’s going to run far, far away as fast as he can. Everyone who comes in contact with Trump is tainted with his stink," yet another tweet added.
