White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders visbly upset some journalists during a briefing on Thursday when she complained about physical dangers she has faced in her job and her unprecedented need for Secret Service protection, and blamed the reporters in the room for causing it.
Challenging her directly, one reporter responded: 'Tell that to the five dead journalists in Maryland.'
On June 28 a gunman stormed the newsroom at the Annapolis Capital newspaper and shot dead John McNamara, Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, Wendi Winters and Rebecca Smith.
Another journalist at the White House Thursday griped afterward: 'She’s going to get us killed!'
Hours earlier Ivanka Trump had expressed disagreement with the President Donald Trump's repeated claim that the political media are 'the enemy of the people.'
'I have certainly received my fair share of reporting on me personally that I know not to be fully accurate,' the first daughter said during an event convened by the Axios news website, 'so I have some sensitivity around why people have concerns and gripe, especially when they sort of feel targeted.'
'But no, I do not feel that the media is the enemy of the people.'
When a CNN correspondent asked Sanders if she would follow suit, she deflected the question.
The president most recently used the incendiary phrase four days ago, in a tweet about his reported conversation with New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger.

Yaaaay
“Complains”? That’s sexist.
The question of whether the media is the enemy of the people will be addressed by the people.
Why is the story even ABOUT them? They’re not supposed to be participants in the events, much less the subjects. They’re just supposed to REPORT them.
They’re worse than Hollywood whores for narcissism.
“Challenging her directly, one reporter responded: ‘Tell that to the five dead journalists in Maryland.’
Absolutely zero connection.
Dang typos!
Another typical lying liberal. The facts of that story had nothing to do with the WH. Not WITHIN 10 million miles of being close to accurate. A regular day for the lying liberals.
Yes, I caught that as well................
He’ll turn white and shut up.
The dead journalists are due t a crazy man who was offended when they mocked him with an unnecessary column. The guy was a crazed stalker, and they wrote an article mocking him. It has nothing to do with Trump.
Ivanka needs to zip it. Does she subconsciously hate her dad? She seems to enjoy agreeing with her dad’s enemies.
Cry me a river...
If the media keeps lyin', at some point they'll start dyin... Maybe some modified behavior would fix that, but I don't see them ready to do that yet.
Acosta is a self serving attention whore. His stories are all about himself.
That nutjob had a long-standing feud with the newspaper, but let's blame Trump anyway because shut up.
Yep........journalists believe they are immune from attack or even criticism.................
“Challenging her directly, one reporter responded: ‘Tell that to the five dead journalists in Maryland.’ “
There’s some inciting fake news right there. That shooter had a personal grudge against the reporters at that specific paper, a grudge for nothing related to politics at all.
The reporter’s insinuation is that it’s directly related to Pres. Trump’s dueling with the reporters. How biased and fake is that?
Jarrod Ramos, hated journalist too butI don't know his politics.
My kids don’t speak for me and I’m pretty sure the same goes for President Trump.
