CNN’s whiny reporter, Jim Acosta, tried to take Sarah Sanders to task at Thursday’s press briefing. But in an amazing turn of the tides it was Sanders who ended up embarrassing the newsman.
According to Fox News:
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders bashed CNN’s Jim Acosta on Thursday, saying she knew it was “hard” for him “to even understand short sentences” amid a conversation during the daily press briefing.
Following a question about North Korea, Acosta asked Sanders about comments made by Attorney General Jeff Sessions earlier in the day, in which Sessions quoted a verse from the Bible while seeking to explain immigrant children being split up from their parents.
“Can I just ask a second question, completely unrelated, on these children who are being separated from their families as they come across the border,” Acosta asked. “The attorney general earlier today said that somehow there’s a justification for this in the Bible. Where does it say in the Bible that it’s moral to take children away from their mothers?”
…
“That’s not what I said. I know it’s hard for you to understand even short sentences, I guess, but please don’t take my words out of context,” Sanders fired back, before adding the government’s actions at the border are “the product of the same legal loopholes that Democrats refuse to close,” and that Trump was “simply enforcing,” the laws.
Sanders has been doing this for a while now and it never gets old. On Friday in an impromptu interview, President Trump lauded Sanders for the job she has done for his administration.
