Talk about a knockout punch! As Sarah Sanders took the podium at the White House Thursday afternoon to answer questions, she ended up delivering a knockout blow to CNN’s Jim Acosta.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had the perfect response to CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s questioning of President Donald Trump’s tweets and his morning viewing of “Fox & Friends” during a media briefing on Thursday.
“There seems to be a pattern … where the president watches something on Fox and Friends and tweets about it,” Acosta said, and then asked, “Does that go on?”
Acosta quickly replied, “I think he watches a lot of CNN if you don’t mind me saying it.”
“I don’t think that’s true. Your numbers would be higher,” Sanders shot back.
This led to a bunch of “ooohs” and groans from reporters in the room. Sanders would then answer Acosta’s question, Sanders said the president has a “great deal of understanding”
