In the aftermath of a Trump supporter violently attacking BBC cameraman Ron Skeans at Donald Trump's El Paso rally this week, White House press secretary raised some eyebrows during an interview with Fox & Friends as she defended the president.
“The idea that the president or anybody on his team or in his administration would encourage violence is absolutely absurd,” Sanders said. “The president stopped, asked and made sure everyone was okay before continuing on with the event. Certainly, we condemn violence in any form against anyone, and that certainly includes the press.”
Sarah Sanders said this morning on "Fox & Friends" that it's "absolutely absurd" to suggest Trump has encouraged violence at rallies. @KenMeyer91 lists some of the examples that show otherwise. https://t.co/hC1ltMGzAJ— Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) February 13, 2019
As we all know, on several occasions, Trump has called for his supporters to address detractors with violence.
He has suggested "Maybe he should have been roughed up," offered to pay the legal fees of supporters who "knock the crap" out of a protester, and even said himself, "I'd like to punch him in the face" regarding another protester.
Mediaite has much more of the Trumpster's history of violent histrionics here.
Absolutely Absurd that anyone thinks Sarah Sanders isn’t a proper liar. https://t.co/aSiZjgZ56K
