Sarah Sanders Spars With CNN's Jim Acosta Over Anti-Semitism Allegations Sarah Sanders Spars With CNN’s Jim Acosta Over Anti-Semitism Allegations https://video.foxnews.com/v/6010671351001/ ( White House: 'Absolute embarrassment' that Congress is using all their time, resources to attack Trump  Speaking on 'Fox & Friends,' press secretary Sarah Sanders calls it 'absolutely outrageous' that Democrats are launching investigations into the president instead of solving the country's problems. ) Sarah Sanders sparred with CNN’s Jim Acosta during the first White House press briefing in 42 days on Monday. The exchange was prompted after NBC’s Hallie Jackson initially asked Sanders if Trump truly believes that “Democrats hate Jews,” following Trump's declaration last week that Democrats are "anti-Israel" and "anti-Jewish." The White House press secretary declined to answer directly, noting that the president has laid out his position on the matter in the past. Democrats have had a number of opportunities to condemn specific comments and have refused to do that,” Sanders said, referring to the ongoing controversy surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar for making allegedly anti-Semitic remarks. Sanders eventually called on Acosta, whom she has feuded with on a regular basis during past press briefings. CNN’s chief White House correspondent opened with a question about whether Trump tried to block AT&T’s merger with Time Warner. After Sanders said she was not aware of any such conversation, Acosta circled back to the situation with “Democrats and Jewish people,” asking if Trump’s rhetoric is “beneath” the American people. “Do you think that the president has thought, at all, going into the 2020 campaign that the rhetoric just needs to be lowered? Whether it’s talking about Democrats, the media, immigrants, or should we just plan on hearing the president use the same kind of language that we heard in 2016 and all through the first couple years of this administration?” Acosta asked. https://twitter.com/CalebJHull/status/1105179604422148097 ✔  @CalebJHull Jim Acosta says it's "patently untrue" that Democrats hate Jewish people just after Ilhan Omar's tough couple weeks of extremely anti-Semitic comments. Sarah Sanders responds by saying it's a shame that Democrats can't call out anti-Semites by name, like Omar. ( FULL STORY IN LINK BELOW ) https://fxn.ws/2u5QW1T #FoxNews
