White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has reportedly grown tired of trying to defend the Trump administration's often-shifting policies. A person close to Sanders' told Vanity Fair, "She's tired of taking on water for something she doesn't believe in." "She continues to have a frustration that the policies are all over the map," another individual familiar with the press secretary said. Over the past days, media outlets have grilled Sanders about families separated by the administration's "zero-tolerance" immigration policy. Tensions between the press and the press secretary rapidly escalated last week, with Jim Acosta of CNN challenging Sanders to explain Attorney General Jeff Sessions' assertion that taking children away from their parents is justified by the Bible. That same day, Brian Karem, the executive editor for Sentinel Newspapers and a CNN political analyst, asked Sanders, "You're a parent...Don't you have any empathy for what these people are going through?"
