Sarah Sanders RIPS CNN for attacking our military

by The Right Scoop

Sarah Sanders just lit into CNN on Twitter for attacking our military for getting Trump to sign their MAGA hats during his visit to Iraq.

Here’s what she tweeted:

CNN will attack anyone who supports President Trump, including the brave men and women of our military who fight everyday to protect our freedom

Here’s what the CNN article said:

President Donald Trump made his first visit to a war zone on Wednesday, receiving an enthusiastic reception from many US troops there — some of whom may have run afoul of military rules.

Video footage and the written report of Trump’s visit with service members in Iraq showed the President signing “Make America Great Again” hats and an embroidered patch that read “Trump 2020.”

But troops’ requests for the autographs could brush up against Department of Defense guidelines for political activities.
Those guidelines say that “active duty personnel may not engage in partisan political activities and all military personnel should avoid the inference that their political activities imply or appear to imply DoD sponsorship, approval, or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign, or cause.”

US military authorities in the coalition did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
Retired Rear Adm. John Kirby, a former Obama administration spokesperson and a CNN analyst, said on CNN’s “The Situation Room” on Wednesday that service members having Trump sign the items was inappropriate.

At first it was rumored that Trump brought the hats with him. But as it turns out, the troops there in Iraq already had the hats – per pool reporters – and brought them out for Trump to sign them. That’s revealed in this clip from CNN:

It is pretty amazing that CNN is making such a big deal about this. Our troops are in a warzone protecting our freedom and interests and the president comes to visit. He’s their commander-in-chief and they want him to sign their MAGA hats. It’s truly not a big deal.

But CNN has gotten quite petty when it comes to the president. Just look at the contemptuous Jim Acosta – he’s a rockstar on that channel and he’s the one leading the segment!

Look, if this is against the rules then let the military handle it within. There’s no need to attack our troops in another effort to make Trump look bad. That’s really what this is all about and it shows just how low CNN will sink to attack Trump.
