According to reporting from both New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman and CNN's Jake Tapper, the White House refused all entreaties to provide a spokesperson to any of the Sunday morning cable shows -- which had the Internet laughing at their cowardice.
On Saturday night, CNN's Brian Stetler tweeted: "Per @maggieNYT,"no one from the White House" is booked on the Sunday shows this week. Not for lack of trying. "And no one in House or Senate GOP leadership," @JakeTapper adds. Again, not for lack of trying."
That brought out the criticism, with one Twitter commnter noting: "They're too busy trying to find lawyers."
