Sarah Sanders sparred with CNN’s Jim Acosta during the first White House press briefing in 42 days on Monday.
The exchange was prompted after NBC’s Hallie Jackson initially asked Sanders if Trump truly believes that “Democrats hate Jews,” following Trump's declaration last week that Democrats are "anti-Israel" and "anti-Jewish." The White House press secretary declined to answer directly, noting that the president has laid out his position on the matter in the past.
“Democrats have had a number of opportunities to condemn specific comments and have refused to do that,” Sanders said, referring to the ongoing controversy surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar for making allegedly anti-Semitic remarks.
Sanders eventually called on Acosta, whom she has feuded with on a regular basis during past press briefings.
CNN’s chief White House correspondent opened with a question about whether Trump tried to block AT&T’s merger with Time Warner. After Sanders said she was not aware of any such conversation, Acosta circled back to the situation with “Democrats and Jewish people,” asking if Trump’s rhetoric is “beneath” the American people.
“Do you think that the president has thought, at all, going into the 2020 campaign that the rhetoric just needs to be lowered? Whether it’s talking about Democrats, the media, immigrants, or should we just plan on hearing the president use the same kind of language that we heard in 2016 and all through the first couple years of this administration?” Acosta asked.
Sanders responded that it’s a shame Democrats won’t come together and condemn anti-Semitic remarks.
“I think that is a great shame,” Sanders said. “The president has been clear on what his position is, certainly what his support is for the people and the community of Israel.”

Little Jimmy @hole is extremely bitter that White House press conferences are now very infrequent. After all, the press conferences are supposed to be all about HIM.
But when it comes to Omar’s remarks on their own, bet Jimmy has very little or nothing to say, eh?
Exactly.
Do not call on him.
Acosta won’the shut up.
I hope she didn’t make Little Jimmie the A cry. His mommy must get tired of him running home to her every time Sarah works him over.
Jim Who?
Not having press briefings really made him fade into obscurity. I had not even realized why I had become so much more lighthearted and happy over the last few weeks, until his ugliness intruded again...
Why do they continue to call on him? They give him a forum.

Liberals only say that when they are losing the argument.
“Why do they continue to call on him? They give him a forum.”
Why does the CAT play with the MOUSE for HOURS before she kills him? ;)
I say give him a forum! Any way and every DAY that we can expose these jerks works for the betterment of America.
MAGA! :)
Jim, which country do you hate the worst, America or Israel?
No one loses a debate over anti-Semitism. Except Jews.

I think you nailed it, Sarah knows she can more than handle that turkey any day of the week.
I’d bet it’s a tossup for Little Jimmy.
How disgusting - Omar and Cortez (and countless other high ranking Democrats) make these outright racist accusations and then close ranks so that they won’t even make a public condemnation of THOSE racist statements and the press has the gall to blame Trump for “lowering the discourse”?
F’ all of ‘em.
Democrats have hated Jews for decades. All the way back to when FDR refused to allow the MS St. Louis to drop off 900 Jewish refugees in the USA.
Thanks to FDR (Democrat) most of these people ended up getting killed by the Nazis.
And then the Democrats were the party of the Klan and they hated Jews and now they’re the party of the Muslims and they hate Jews.
Only a meshugganah Jews would be a Democrat!

What I don’t understand is why they call on him.
Some leftist court gave him the “right” to be there, because, you know, he’s special (and anti-Trump) and all... but no one ordered the administration to call on him (as far as I know!).
