Being the president of the United States is a hard job. Being the president's press secretary seems even harder.

Sean Spicer didn't last a year, ceding the stage to current White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Sanders recently appeared on The View with her father, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, to discuss President Trump's relationship with the media, the Arpaio pardon and more.

The ladies of the table weren't here to play. 

Sara Haines asked about fake news and the president's adversarial relationship with the press.

Sanders took a page out of her boss' book and said that there was blame "on both sides." But more on the side of the press, which she said needs to do better at presenting "facts and not opinion."

Joy Behar had something ready for that, bringing up a Politifact report that found 95 percent of the president's statements are lies.

"Is the media supposed to not report on the fact that 95 percent of what he says is a lie?” Behar asked point blank.

"You … are pushing a false narrative," Sanders replied. 

Host Sunny Hostin brought the receipts, pointing out that all Politifact had done was look at things the president had said.

"I completely disagree with the fact that what you're saying is that only five percent of that is true. I know that that is simply not accurate," Sanders said before appealing to people's patriotism. "He is the president … we have to get behind him."

Behar wasn't playing that. “I feel for you,” she said to Sanders. “I feel sorry for you that you have to go out and defend those lies every day.”

The ladies also asked their guests about Trump and women. The president famously once seemed to brag about sexually assaulting women.

Given this, Behar asked Huckabee, “How can you let your daughter defend him?”

“He's also empowered a lot of women,” Huckabee said, pointing to his daughter as one of these women, before adding, “People say, oh, he's a racist, but he's been on this show many times.”

How coming on a show that has two black people on it makes you not racists, Huckabee failed to comment on.

For her part, Sanders said, “I think he's an equal opportunity president. He hits men just as hard. Women want equal opportunity and this president certainly gives it to them.”

Which is why the Trump administration pays women 63 cents for every dollar a man makes for doing the same job, and why the administration recently got rid of an Obama-era rule meant to end the wage gap.

When Huckabee said that his Christian heart tells him that Trump “does look at people with intrinsic worth and value,” Behar and Whoopi Goldberg spontaneously cracked up laughing.

Circling back to the media, Sanders said that the media's "false narratives" are “frankly, inhibiting [Trump’s] ability to succeed."

Goldberg immediately spoke up, noting that Trump himself was guilty of a long and drawn-out "false narrative," referencing the "birther" theory he spun against Barack Obama. 

“Where was President Obama born and is he an American citizen?” Goldberg pointedly asked Sanders, who tried to laugh it off. Whoopi wouldn't let it go.

In the end, Goldberg had an idea for fixing America's political troubles: “You also have to get somebody in the office who recognizes what the truth is.”
