From 'terrific job' to 'good riddance,' Sarah Sanders' White House exit stirs emotions on Twitter
It didn’t take long for Twitter to pounce on the news of Sarah Sanders’ upcoming exit from the White House.
President Donald Trump announced Sanders’ departure on Twitter, and various influencers and politicians quickly took to the social media platform either to offer their respect or celebrate the end of her two-year run as press secretary.
"She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job!" Trump tweeted after saying Sanders would step down at the end of the June. "I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas - she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well done!"
Not everyone agreed on Twitter, though.

The reactions ranged from respect:
Thank you to @PressSec Sarah Sanders for her service to our Administration & our nation! She’s a patriot who worked tirelessly every day to deliver on @POTUS’ America First Agenda. @SecondLady and I wish Sarah, Bryan & the kids all the best in their future endeavors! THANK YOU!

I really appreciate the terrific job that @PressSec Sarah Sanders has done at the White House.
For over two years she has dealt with a hostile press with an insatiable desire to go after the Trump Administration for everything under the sun.— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) June 14, 2019

To tongue-in-cheek jokes:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders is leaving, or as Sarah Huckabee Sanders would say, "Sarah Huckabee Sanders is not leaving."

I'm not going to believe that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is leaving as White House press secretary until she denies it herself.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders handled her job like a drunk person at a traffic stop denying she's in a car at all.

To painful wishes:
we're seated at the precipice of fascism and Sarah Sanders was instrumental in unabashedly ushering in that state of affairs. may she walk a path strewn with legos in her bare feet for the remainder of her days.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the grotesquely rude pathological lying propaganda sycophant with no moral compass who proudly served a criminal is leaving our White House. Good riddance. May she be shamed and shunned for the rest of her miserable days. #ByeFelicia
