SARAH SANDERS FIRES BACK AFTER CNN REPORT TRASHES TRUMP’S VISIT TO TROOPS IN IRAQ: There was barely a kind word toward the president regarding his trip overseas this week — at least on CNN. Politics reporter Eli Watkins, in a report headlined, “Troops bringing Trump hats to sign may violate military rule,” drew the ire of White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, who wrote on Twitter that the network “will attack anyone who supports President Trump, including the brave men and women of our military who fight everyday to protect our freedom.”
Then CNN anchor Jim Sciutto blasted Trump for his “routine lying,” while CNN military analyst Mark Hertling criticized Trump for getting “political” during his visit. Former Obama State Department spokesman John Kirby even dinged the president for not visiting with Iraqi security forces, who are also part of the fight against ISIS.
CNN Politics’ verified Twitter account was ratioed when Watkins’ story was sent out, which is typically a sign that the majority of readers don’t agree. As of Thursday morning, the tweet received over 3,300 comments and only 826 likes. – Reported by Brian Flood and Joseph A. Wulfsohn
