Caught red-hatted.

"She burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies."

Comedian Michelle Wolf received massive outcry from both sides of the aisle for calling out White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders last year at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.


Wolf might be feeling a degree of vindication this week with the public release of the redacted Mueller Report on Russian efforts to sabotage the 2016 presidential election. Among the revelations in its 448 pages is an admission from Sanders regarding her claims to journalists that "countless" FBI officials had lost faith in former Director James Comey, whose firing by President Donald Trump was seen by some as evidence of obstruction.

In her interview with the Special Counsel's Office, Sanders told the Mueller team that her dishonest comments were made "in the heat of the moment" and amounted to nothing more than a "slip of the tongue."

However, when a reporter asked why a majority of the FBI officials he had spoken to had faith in Comey's direction, Sanders doubled down on the claim.

Watch below:

FBI emails released in 2018 revealing disappointment in Comey's firing gave greater weight to Sanders's statement being false, but it wasn't until the release of the Mueller Report that she confirmed the baselessness herself:

According to the report, Sanders

"also recalled that her statement in a separate press interview that rank-and-file FBI agents had lost confidence in Corney was a comment she made 'in the heat of the moment' that was not founded on anything."

Ya don't say.

People weren't exactly shocked.

Sanders has yet to address the matter.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
