No @PressSec, CNN did not say @realDonaldTrump was directly responsible for the bomb sent to our office by his ardent and emboldened supporter. We did say that he, and you, should understand your words matter. Every single one of them. But so far, you don’t seem to get that. pic.twitter.com/ZbH5DQggWq

Look. If you incite hatred, then hatred has been incited. If you have a huge public megaphone – such as for instance the personal Twitter account of a president or prime minister – and you use it to call Xs “Enemy of the People” then you are doing just that. If you rant and rave over and over and OVER again that particular journalists represent “Fake News” then that is what you are doing. Trump may think he does it only to inspire his fans, or get it off his chest, or motivate CNN to do better, or set the record straight…but he can’t know that that’s how all of his audience will receive it.
Sarah Sanders probably knows that. But: deny deny deny.

She always appears to have a scowl. Does she hate her life?
Kevin, she may not realise it yet but she would have to right? No one with a shred of decency and self respect could do that job and enjoy their life. Maybe that’s it? She has neither decency nor self respect.
She’s Mike Huckabee’s daughter. Of course she hates her life.
Extreme compartmentalization?
