"You guys need to take a little bit of a step back, slow down, and quit going after the Trump administration on everything that takes place."
In todays WH press briefing, Sarah Huckabee Sanders went all Red Hen on NBC, and fortunately The Hill’s reporter gave up his turn to allow Hallie Jackson a follow-up.
The questioning was about the negation of yesterday’s walk back about Trump’s view on Russian attacks on the US.
NBC's Hallie Jackson noted that the White House has reversed course twice in the last three days on initial statements from the president.
"Why should this president have any credibility to Americans in what he says if in fact 24 hours later or in this case three hours later, the White House comes out and says 'Just kidding,'" Jackson asked.
Sanders said the framing of the question was unfair.
“I was interpreting what the president’s intention was, and stating the administration’s policy. That’s not exactly what you just explained," she said. "We never said 'just kidding,' and I think that you can take the fact that the president has credibility because he saw that he had misspoken and he wanted to clarify that yesterday, which he did."
