Sarah Sanders calls out New York Times' take on Biden investigation: 'I thought it was an Onion headline' - “Is this satire?&rdqu

Fox News contributor Sarah Sanders said on Monday that the idea of the Democratic National Committee taking the lead on an investigation of a sexual assault allegation against their own presidential candidate is “laughable.”

“I thought it was an Onion headline, not a New York Times headline. [The Times] should be embarrassed for themselves for even suggesting that idea,” the former White House press secretary told “Fox & Friends.”

BIDEN AGAIN DENIES TARA READE SEXUAL-ASSAULT CLAIM: 'IT NEVER HAPPENED. PERIOD.'

Sanders’ comments came after The New York Times editorial board faced mockery from multiple journalists Sunday after the board suggested that a sexual assault allegation against former Vice President Joe Biden be investigated – by none other than the Democratic National Committee.

The Times editorial called for records from Biden’s time in the Senate to be reviewed by what they called “an unbiased, apolitical panel, put together by the D.N.C.,” leading Axios' Jonathan Swan to speculate whether the Times actually was serious.

“Is this satire?” Swan tweeted, quoting the above language.
