The 1st WH press briefing in 42 days was supposed to focus on Trump’s budget proposal, but was quickly overshadowed after Sarah Sanders refused to deny a report claiming Trump told a room of donors that Democrats hate Jewish people, kaitlancollins reports
Washington After President Donald Trump accused Democrats of becoming an"anti-Jewish party," the White House refused Monday to tamp down his claim, insisting the party's refusal to specifically condemn a freshman lawmaker for her controversial comments amounted to an"abhorrent" display.
Speaking at her first formal briefing in more than a month, press secretary Sarah Sanders wouldn't say whether Trump believes Democrats hate Jews, which is what he reportedly told Republican donors over the weekend at his Florida estate. But she did little to disavow the notion, which Trump himself had previewed on Friday morning when he told reporters:"The Democrats have become an anti-Israel party. They've become an anti-Jewish party, and that's too bad.
