White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called out CNN President Jeff Zucker for his statement calling on Sanders and the White House to stop attacking the media.

“You chose to attack and divide,” she said in a tweet Wednesday evening.

CNN was targeted on Wednesday — along with the Obamas, the Clintons and several other prominent Democrats who Trump tends to insult — when an explosive device was mailed to New York City CNN building, prompting an evacuation.

    Sanders is so full of shit:

    .@realDonaldTrump asked Americans “to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the USA” Yet you chose to attack and divide. America should unite against all political violence

    Then he goes out for a few Lock her up chants, and calls the media the enemy of the people. FUCK Sanders and the tRump administration, they do nothing to help here.

  3. Got it in one.

  4. It’s so true – like they have no functioning ‘STOP’ button. There is no way they all–every single one of them–can tell me with a straight face that they don’t get it, that they don’t get what they’re doing and why they’re doing it.

    I’m sure glad that my tax dollars go to pay her salary. She’s so even tempered and rational, and is always the voice of reason.
