Sarah Huckabee Sanders Claims Trump Is 'Incredible Advocate' of Free Speech After He Tweets Against Free Press
CNN's senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta asked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders if President Donald Trump valued the "First Amendment as much as he values the Second Amendment."
The press secretary's response was to make a claim everyone in the room knew wasn't true.
"The president is an incredible advocate of the First Amendment," she said.
Than Sanders went on to talk about how the press isn't "positive" enough about Trump, as though we're living under an authoritarian regime.
She also claimed the news media needed to be more "accurate" after making a demonstrably false claim right to the journalists' faces.
Watch the exchange below.
