Sarah Sanders Rants After CNN Reporter Asks About Trump Calling Dems ‘Evil’: ‘People on Your Network’ Say It

by Joe DePaolo | Oct 25th, 2018, 10:57 am

Sarah Sanders went off during a gaggle with the White House press corps Thursday, after a question about President Donald Trump‘s use of the word “evil.”

CNN’s Abby Phillip asked the press secretary, in light of the explosive devices sent to various high-profile Democrats and CNN’s New York headquarters, whether the president had any second thoughts about using the word “evil” to describe Democrats during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process.

“A few weeks ago, he said that Democrats who opposed Kavanaugh were ‘evil,'” Phillip said. “Does he regret that statement?” Sanders initially tried to dodge the question.

“The president feels like we should call out despicable acts which is exactly what he’s done in the last 24 hours,” she said.

Phillip interjected, and pressed Sanders for an answer. “Is evil an appropriate way to describe people in the political sphere?” Phillip said.

“It’s a word that people have used on your network a number of times, not only to describe the president but people who work in this administration,” Sanders said.

but this particular president has been reckless from the very beginning. The president has more power than anyone in this country to control the national discourse.
