On Friday, “Morning Joe” regular Donnie Deutsch reduced Sanders’ role in the administration to her gender.

“I keep coming back to the women,” he said, “and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who I’m sure is a very, very decent human being — I don’t know her — but how as a woman do you defend [him]?”

(This is opposed to Deutsch, who, as a man, once openly mused about Trump getting an erection.)

At the White House press briefing Thursday, NBC correspondent Hallie Jackson wanted to know how Sanders’ motherhood factored into her White House responsibilities.
