Sarah Sanders: Trump hasn't 'at any point' done anything but 'condemn violence against journalists'

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday that President Trump has only ever condemned violence against the media, distancing him from a recently arrested Coast Guard lieutenant’s plans to kill several high-profile Democrats and media personalities.




Paul Hasson, a self-proclaimed white nationalist, was arrested Wednesday on gun and drug charges.

Authorities said Hasson had stashed a cache of guns, compiled a hit list of prominent Democrats and called for the use of violence to “establish a white homeland.”

“I certainly don’t think that the president has at any point done anything but condemn violence against journalists or anyone else. In fact, every single time something like this happens, the president is typically one of the first people to condemn the violence and the media is the first people to blame the president,” Sanders said Friday when asked if the president had any intention of toning down his criticism of the media.

US President Donald Trump has praised a Republican congressman who assaulted a journalist last year with a "body slam", referring to him as "my guy".

"Greg is smart," Mr Trump said of Montana Congressman Greg Gianforte, adding "By the way, never wrestle him".

"Any guy that can do a body slam... he's my guy," he said to cheers and laughter at a rally in Montana.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and the Guardian newspaper have called on Mr Trump to apologise ...
