“During a tense White House briefing on Thursday, CNN’s Jim Acosta challenged the press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, to disavow President Trump’s description of journalists as ‘the enemy of the people,'” the New York Times reports.
“Ms. Sanders declined to do so, saying she had been personally attacked in the media and had faced threats since starting her job.”

It’s one thing for a campaign or party operative to say the things that Huckabee Sanders did yesterday – it’s another for someone whose salary is paid for by American taxpayers to say it.”
