Sarah Huckabee Sanders Fumbles When Asked Why Trump Never Condemned Rep. Steve King

Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Trump have demonstrably admonished the Democratic Party for not rebuking Rep. Omar loudly or specifically enough, but when asked why Trump never publicly rebuked Rep. Steve King's years of white nationalism, racism, and anti-Semitism, she had no coherent answer.

During today's White House press briefing reporter Jon Karl, ABC News Chief White House Correspondent, asked if Trump really believes that Democrats hate the Jewish people. He asked, "We've seen him tweet in the last couple of days, the Democrats are the quote anti-Jewish party. Does the president really believe Democrats hate Jews?"

Sanders usually just parrots Trump's words, and she did so here. She replied that Trump has been an unwavering ally of the Jewish people and, "the remarks that have been made by a number of Democrats and failed to be called out by Democratic leadership is frankly abhorrent, and it's sad."

The press secretary attacked the Democratic resolution against all forms of hate. Sanders continued, "It should be done the way the Republicans did it when Steve King made terrible comments. We called it out by name, we stripped him of his committee memberships and we'd like to see Democrats follow suit."
