'Bring Your Kids to Work Day' didn't go so well for Sarah Huckabee Sanders

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders probably thought holding a mock press briefing on "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day 2019" would go smoothly but, hoo boy, was she wrong.

While Sanders was fine hosting a group of kids (mostly the children of the White House press corps), she hasn't hosted an actual press briefing for actual reporters in 45 days which is a new record.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this year's event was mostly "off the record."

Some of the attending kids were clearly children of staff members; check out the kids in the red MAGA hats below.

This if, of course, not entirely true. The administration carried out the family separation policy for a while before backing off. Even now, despite denials from administration officials, there's reported talk of bringing it back in a revised form.

Of course, reporters weren't thrilled that Sanders is still ducking them, especially due to the laundry list of big news affecting members of the Trump Administration in recent weeks like, oh, say, the release of the Mueller Report. At least one reporter made sure to let Sanders know about their displeasure.

Rubbing a bit of salt in the wound for the press, Vice President Mike Pence even popped in to say hi.

President Trump himself will have a chance to speak to a group of children later Thursday when he makes an appearance at the White House to mark the same event. Should be interesting, given how Trump has handled interactions with children in the past.
