    So, the thing about Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying she's an honest person. The short explanation (if you need one) is that liars are able to lie about the fact that they're lying, too. But the longer explanation is: she means it. In her world honesty is an inherent characteristic

        She's an "honest person" the same way her father Mike Huckabee is a "good person" and the same way they are both "Christians". These are inherent characteristics that they embody, not outcomes of actions or descriptions of behavior.

        It doesn't matter to her how much she says things that aren't true, because she is an honest person. If Hillary Clinton -- a liar -- got up and said something that was factually true but inconvenient, that would be bad and wrong and a lie, because Clinton's a liar. Inherently.

        It's an open question how much/how often Mike Huckabee actually believes this kind of thinking (and not a very interesting one because the answer affects nothing) but she was raised in it.

        She believes herself to be honest and good, so the things she does are honest and good. End of story.

        If you watch the correspondence dinner, she had a very brief look of pain and bewilderment when Michelle Wolf was talking about what a liar she was. Like a mixture of "ouch" but also "what" and "how dare".

        And I think that is part of what the backlash against Michelle Wolf was rooted in, the idea that a "good person", a "good woman", might be judged by her actions rather than some inherently ascribed quality of goodness.

        The Huckabees belong to a tradition of Christianity that not only believes that people are saved by grace rather than by their good works, but finds it vulgar to dwell on good works as a thing a saved person might even sometimes do. Because that cheapens the grace, you see.

        So Sarah Huckabee Sanders has absolutely no cognitive dissonance with insisting that others must see her as an honest person, while she is lying to them, because why even sully the purity of a pure Platonic concept like honesty by bringing works and deeds into it?

        In my world, she’s just a lying sack of shit.
