here s what sarah huckabee sanders said about that yesterday at the white house. does the white house support the baker s right of free speech, why doesn t the white house support players right to free speech? the president doesn t think that this is an issue simply of free speech. he thinks it s about respecting the men and women of our military. it s about respecting our national anthem and it s about standing out of pride for that. how do you see it, george? i think it is it is a free speech situation. i think that we all have the inalienable right under the constitution to have that free speech and it s not up to the president, nor 40, 50 or 60% of the americans to say what rights that we have and can utilize and express. i think that s one of the things that has continue today divide this country and i m very concerned as an citizen what is going to be a long-term implication of a president that
all the compliance in cooperation hasn t diverted this president from doing his job. we are more prosperous, more secure, 503 days into his president. hold on. i don t think respectfully, i don t think this has helped cnn. your ratings are way down because i know i hit a nerve there, john. but let s be fair. you like to say lie and the president and sarah in the same sentence. excuse me. this is not benefiting you. you re not getting new viewers who want to hear this junk and this funk because you don t have proof and you re trying to let your viewers think that this man was not elected fairly and squarely and you know he was. you know not a single vote was changed. you do give that a woman a platform when she comes. what are the clintons doing to help america, by the way? what are they doing. you re giving her a platform to talk about why i didn t ask about hillary clinton if you re talking about the 2016 elections, you are. i just want to know what the truth is here and
day after day that are not true. every politician lies, every politician says things that aren t true. this is a different volume and order of magnitude and i understand that sarah huckabee sanders is a s in a rough position frequently and i understand that she was in a rough position on this, but to answer the question the first time and say this wasn t the reporting wasn t true and then say i have to refer you to his lawyers, it s just not acceptable. no, it s not owning. it s not owning your own words or taking responsibility for what you re doing. this is what this white house does repeatedly. they never take responsibility. over and over and over and that starts at the top. it is all about shifting blame. another good segue. in terms of not taking responsibility are you going to ask me again about where he was born? bill clinton has been doing a book tour. he did a book with james paterson s. he s getting asked a lot of questions about monica lewinsky and the way he
it s not a outside counsel issue when sarah huckabee sanders says it from the podium, though. she said it from the podium. the president did not dictate it. the lawyer now says that the president did, so there s a difference there. does sarah need to explain to us why she said what she said. i m going to repeat what sarah said to the press who asked yesterday. she is referring it to outside counsel and that s where it needs to be left. this is an active investigation does it need to be is she in legal jeopardy? for what she said? who? sarah. no. why are you saying that? is someone in legal jeopardy takes legal issue. no, no. i m saying you re talking about something the president s lawyers said. it s a legal issue. not a legal issue for sarah. i m talking about something that sarah said on television. sarah addressed it. sarah said she won t address it. she address this had yesterday. she addressed the matter yesterday. but i think on this, everything
is a big preoccupation of the president s right now. right now and always. he is very focused on trying to pair down the white house communication staff. they re trying to target people who they think of spreading things. she was in a really, really unpleasant and unproductive war with mercedes shlab who by the end they couldn t stand to be in the same room together is my understanding and megan mccain s reaction to this which was priceless on an abc communication that was sent around to all staff about sadler s departure, bye felisha which a lot of people had to look up in the urban dictionary which was about as classy an insult that she could ever put. i want sarah huckabee sanders is doing and claiming from the podium. she made false statements as we know to the press and therefore to the american public about whether or not it was president trump who dictated that statement on air force one
