anti-america, anti-flag, and anilary. philadelphia s mayor, jim kenney, dismissed trump s decision in an interview today. donald trump is meaningless to this whole process. he s meaningless to this city and the city s success. he tries at every chance he gets to tear cities down, and eventually he ll be gone one way or the other, and we ll move on. at a briefing this afternoon, the white house press secretary, sarah huckabee sanders, repeatedly blamed the eagles for what she called a political stunt. our own peter alexander asked p seemingly inconsistent views on free speech these days. so i guess my question is simple. so if the white house supports the baker s right of free speech, why doesn t the white house support players right to free speech? the president doesn t think that this is an issue simply of free speech. he thinks it s about respecting the men and women of our military. it s about respecting our national anthem, and it s about standing out of pride for that.
the vast majority of the eagles team decid to abandon their fans. eagles safety malcolm jenkins responded to the president, quote, it s hard to meet people doou and to have tough conversations about uncomfortable race-related issues and how to make positive change. instead, the decision was made to lie and paint the picture that these players are anti-america, anti-flag, and anti-military. philadelphia s mayor, jim kenney, dismissed trump s decision in an interview today. donald trump is meaningless to this whole process. he s meaningless to this city and the city s success. he tries at every chance he gets to tear cities down, and eventually he ll be gone one way or the other, and we ll move on. at a briefing this afternoon, the white house press secretary, sarah huckabee sanders, repeatedly blamed the eagles for what she called a political stunt. our own peter alexander asked sanders about the president s seemingly inconsistent views on free speech these days. so i guess my que
i will say on this issue, this is the second day that josh dossey put that question to sarah sanders and others in the briefing room have as well. i think people who watch those briefings can step back and objectively take away that she cannot answer a simple question about whether a statement that she made months ago that has since been contradicted by the president s outside attorneys is accurate, whether or not this taxpayer funded spokesperson who speaks for the president at the white house is telling the truth. that s an essential question about her credibility. and yet because we re living through this era in which the president is engaged in a war on the press and a war many say on truth, the truth has become so tribalized that a lot of people see her response, and they watch for that. they like her hitting back at josh dossey, and april ryan. and this is all increasingly subjective, the takeaways from that briefing. but i do think at the end of the day when you go into that bri
and a press shop that is not delighted with the fact set that they face every day. and she does her best to dissemble and to deflect, but i think that takes a toll eventually as well. and they know that even though the public posture is to turn everything around and attack the press. the rst me seen calledy upon to trot out a new version of the truth. right. well, actually, this has been happen since day one of the trump administration, from back when sean spicer, predr, was ta the record crowds at the inauguration. but, you know, rectly with sarah sanders, this just came up again a couple weeks ago with payment did the president know about the payment to stormy daniels? she had said repeatedly that he didn t know. and then suddenly he says he did know. he tells reporters he did know. and so she was ask se question. let s be clear here. she can answer if she wants to
that today. you said something from the podium. was it accurate or not? that s all we want to know. again, i work day in, day out, and i believe frankly with the majority of you here in the room, i think you all know i m an honest person who works extremely hard to provide you with accurate information at all times. i m going to continue to do that, but i m not going to engage on matters that deal with the outside counsel. dossey versus sanders. i have to say jim acosta on cnn tonight said this. quote, it seems like we re comi tohe end of her days at this white house. that surprised me to hear from jim. do you concur with his opinion, and what about gener credibility these days from the podium? i don t have any reporting to suggest that the president himself is upset with the job that sarah sanders is doing at the podium or that a change is imminent. my impression from being around the president, talking to people in the west wing is that he s fairly happy or happier with th ho
