exchange went. you re not going to state for the record, then i mean, if the president is going to say the fake news media are the enemy of the people. and if you re going to stand there and continue to say that there are some journalists, some news outlets in this country that meet that characterization, shouldn t you have the guts, sarah, to state which outlets, which journalists are the enemy of the people? i think it s irresponsible of a news organization like yours to blame responsibility of a pipe bomb that was not sent by the president, not just blame the president, but blame members of his administration, for those heinous acts. i think that is outrageous and i think it s irresponsible. aeshnderson, we went back an forth there for a couple of more minutes and sarah sanders just did not want to name individual outlets. she went on she said that there were individual journalists, i suppose, that the president refers to as the enemy of the people, but we did not get a st
rhetoric, which the white house doesn t want to take any responsibility for. they re obviously pushing back on the notion that the president s rhetoric has anything to do with any of these violent acts we ve seen over the last week. at one point, sarah sanders said that we and the press were blaming the president for these acts, which i don t think is the case. i suppose there might be some individuals out there who are blaming the president directly for these attacks. but i think what has been said, by cnn and other news outlets, is that the president s rhetoric has created this climate where these sorts of things can occur and that the president doesn t recognize the power of his own words on occasion. as we saw earlier this morning, anderson, the president was tweeting that the fake news is the enemy of the people, as he likes to put it. and soy asked sarah about that, noting that even former members of the administration, there s one particular former member of the administration,
he really believed all sorts of very, very far-right crazy things. this is the guy, when we were all covering this sitting here on friday that the news was breaking, that they found him in his van down there in florida, that he was standing there at a trump rally in 2017 with a sign that was critical of cnn, right? that s absolutely right, he had that sign critical of cnn. and so when we re looking through this, too, it s very interesting, because you see sometimes his rhetoric sort of following the president s. we know that he was, you know, a trump superfan, went to rallies, went to the inauguration. but at times, when sending death threats at cnn, he actually used the same rhetoric as the president, calling cnn the enemy of america. using the president s own words. mm-hmm. so frightening, all of which, at least investigators have this treasure-trove of evidence and ramblings online to use, to use against him, presumably. andrew kaczynski, thank you so much for looking in a
