New White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that it is her "duty" to tell the truth to the American people as she takes over for Sean Spicer, who resigned on Friday.

On ABC's "This Week," George Stephanopoulos asked Sanders on Sunday the same question Spicer got asked on his first day by ABC colleague Jonathan Karl.

"Do you promise to always try to tell the truth from that podium?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"Absolutely, and not just to you but I think that’s our duty, certainly," Sanders said on "This Week."

Sanders said that she wants to be able to go home and "look her kids in the eye" knowing she has held the "highest level of honesty and integrity."

Spicer stepped down as press secretary Friday after the appointment of Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director. Sanders, who had been handling the majority of briefings in recent weeks, was immediately tapped to take Spicer's post.
