Sarah Huckabee Sanders shot down suggestions that President Trump's eruption at a White House meeting on infrastructure was a pre-planned stunt
The White House on Thursday denied that President Donald Trump's eruption one day earlier at a meeting with Democratic leaders was a pre-planned stunt, rebuffing accusations from lawmakers who said the president was trying to bow out of serious infrastructure negotiations.
She also accused Democratic leaders of getting ahead of themselves in asking the White House to propose how it would pay for a multi-trillion dollar plan so early in the process, which was expected to take up the bulk of Wednesday's discussion. But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday that the blow up was little more than a pre-planned effort to escape a sit-down that he was "ill-prepared" for. In an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” the New York Democrat argued that there were signs the president was not serious about Wednesday’s meeting.
