Trump "asked Sanders to open her briefing today by highlighting the weekend incident"



Sanders began her press briefing Monday reading a statement reacting to the incident.

"We are allowed to disagree but we should be able to do so freely and without fear of harm, and this goes for all people regardless of politics," she said.

"Healthy debate on ideas and political philosophy is important, but the calls for harassment and push for any Trump supporter to avoid the public is unacceptable," Sanders added.

A White House official says Trump asked Sanders to open her briefing today by highlighting the weekend incident. The President has made his views clear on this on Twitter and instructed Sanders to highlight it at briefing, official said.

How did she feel harm? No one threatened her. They politely asked her to leave. Not as if they called the cops on her.

They know they're hated

They fear what could happen

The paranoia will keep increasing until they'll bridle at a server forgetting to tell them to have a nice day

When he kicked Jim Acosta out for asking a question? When he threatens to remove press credentials for people who he doesn't agree with as the president, violating the actual first amendment, that is different right Sarah?

Those people are bullshit. They can lie and be hypocrites right to your face without batting an eyelash.

And then she set a new landspeed record when she pivoted from feeling sorry for herself to blaming minority Democrats for not passing immigration legislation in a Congress where they don’t presently have that particular power.

BOCA RATON, FLA.

When Donald Trump said Sunday that he might pay the legal fees of a man charged with hitting a protester in the face at one of his rallies, it was the latest of many occasions when the leading Republican candidate for president appeared to condone or accept violence by supporters ...

On NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Trump was asked whether he would pay McGraw's legal fees, as he once offered to do for supporters who rough up protesters.

"I've actually instructed my people to look into it, yes," Trump responded ...
