Sarah Huckabee Sanders Cancels Fox News Interview After Internet Mocks Her for Being Bad at Her Job

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders cancelled a scheduled interview on Fox News after twenty minutes of intense online mockery.
Fox News had hyped on Twitter that Sanders would make an appearance with The Daily Briefing host Dana Perino, who had served as press secretary during the George W. Bush administration.
The network then deleted their tweet hyping the appearance after a brief period of intense backlash.
Perino tweeted that Sanders had “been pulled into a meeting” and would be unavailable.
Actually we just found out she’s been pulled into a meeting and won’t be on after all. But @AriFleischer will be! https://t.co/s4BM5p6EuN

Between the announcement and the announcement of the cancellation, many people mocked Sanders for not holding a press briefing and instead going on Fox News.
