White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders got into a back and forth with CNN's Jim Acosta during the daily briefing on Wednesday over Judge Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford. It was the first briefing since September 10.
Acosta accused President Trump of mocking Ford during a campaign rally in Mississippi Tuesday night. Sanders pushed back and said while President Trump was stating the facts about Ford's failure to remember key details about an alleged assault from high school, Acosta regularly failed to accurate.

Sanders also defended Judge Kavanaugh and said both he and Ford have been victimized by Democrats using the nomination process as a political weapon.
.@Acosta: "Are you saying Judge Kavanaugh is the victim in all this?"
.@PressSec: "I think both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh are the victims at the hands of the Democrats. I think it is absolutely disgraceful what they've done."— Ryan Struyk (@ryanstruyk) October 3, 2018
During an interview with Fox News Wednesday morning, White House Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway also defended President Trump's comments. Conway also warned about indicting all men in the era of Me Too.

Love Sarah! She’s a badass in the best way
Just end these press conferences. They are worthless.
They might not be so worthless if some reporters were in attendance.
ROFLMAO!!!
Did anyone besides me think the press was a little more subdued than usual today?
Her kids probably saw that face once or twice and wised up. The presstitutes? Not so much ...
That she is, but dunno how she keeps from walking out there and slapping the crap out of some of those enemedia cretins.
Guess she’s learned great patience from being a mom of boys :-)
Reminds me of Tony now slapping down that monkey-boy Gregory.
In my less than ideal youth, that face was occasionally (ok, more than :) followed by the dreaded ‘wait til your father gets home’.
now=Snow, missed the darn key while trying to shift.
No leaks about Kavanaugh. The FBI report must be favorable to him.
Her kids say to each other “Hey, doofus! Don’t be a ‘jimacosta’!!!”
Instead of reporters, they get character assassins like Acosta showing up. It is not so much that Acosta fails to report the facts, as it is that he simply makes up his own set of facts out of whole cloth, and reports them as what he was “given” by the briefing.
Jim Acosta hears funny. His filter has to have some pretty severe internal warps and echo chambers.
Acosta’s press creds should be revoked. He’s just a self absorbed grand standing jerk.
Agree.
Sarah: You don’t state the facts.
Acosta: What do facts have to do with a CNN story? Or my ego and career path moving upward?
