Sarah Huckabee Sanders hits CNN's Jim Acosta with a low blow while arguing about 'facts'
The White House press briefings are back and they're as unhinged as ever.
In an on-camera briefing on Wednesday, the first since September 10, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders repeatedly excused Trump's shameless mocking of Christine Blasey Ford on Tuesday night as the president simply stating "facts."
After CNN's chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, asked Sanders about Trump's words, the two engaged in a brief but heated exchange and Sanders accused CNN of not stating facts.

When asked if she thought Brett Kavanaugh – Trump's Supreme Court nominee who Ford accused of sexual assault – was a victim, Sanders said, "I think both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh are vicitms at the hands of the democrats," and went on to say it's crucial to look at the facts present in both testimonies.

Acosta then proceeded to ask if Sanders had any problem with Trump's widely criticized comments about Ford at Tuesday night's rally in Mississippi.
"I don't have any problem stating facts, no... I know that's probably something you do have a problem with but we don't," Sanders said before moving on to another question.
"Actually, Sarah, we do state the facts and I think there have been many occasions when you don't state the facts if I may respond," Acosta replied.
After the tense moment, many picked up on Sanders' defensiveness and called her out on social media for her snark.
It's been a controversial few days for Trump and his Supreme Court nominee. Following Ford's Thursday testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the FBI is currently investigating the allegations against Kavanaugh.
The FBI is likely to wrap up its investigation shortly, and Sanders confirmed that a senate vote will likely come soon after.
