LOADING ERROR LOADINGSarah Matthews, an ex-White House aide to Donald Trump, took on the current administration’s “gaslighting” on Friday after the president boosted a social media post calling for the execution of Democrats in Congress. ″[It’s] mind-boggling but not surprising,” said Matthews in an appearance on MS NOW. AdvertisementMatthews — a White House deputy press secretary in Trump’s first term who resigned after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol — said it’s “absolutely insane” that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and other Trump officials are defending the post. “To me, it looks like the president is the one very clearly inciting violence here,” Matthews said. Matthews added that it’s “really shameful” that Republicans are “sane-washing” Trump’s posts instead of “very clearly” condemning them as all lawmakers should.
