Sanders: ‘Sad’ Left Attacks Women In Trump Admin While ‘Claiming to Champion Women’s Causes’

During an interview broadcast on Friday’s edition of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders stated that many liberals have “contempt” for the “forgotten men and women” and also stated, “it’s sad that they’re attacking a lot of us while claiming to champion women’s causes and women’s issues.”

Sanders said, [T]his is a president who was elected by the forgotten men and women of this country, and a lot of liberals have contempt for those people, whether they’re men, whether they’re women, and they want to attack us. I think that it’s a great reminder of why this president was elected. We’re here to do a job. We’re here to get big things done. That’s what we’re focused on. And if they want to focus on petty attacks, that’s fine, let them have at it. While they’re doing that, we’re going to get tax cuts passed in this country. We’re going to continue to grow the economy, continue to create jobs, 2 million new jobs since this president came into office. And I’m sure a lot of those are going to women. And maybe we’ll get to replace some of those female journalists out there that don’t like us very much at some point. The bottom line is, this is a president who’s focused on getting things done, focused on getting things done for the men and women that frankly, a lot of the liberal elites in this country don’t like, have contempt for. And he’s focused on empowering women, and he is doing that in the way he puts people in place in his administration. And I think it’s sad that they’re attacking a lot of us while claiming to champion women’s causes and women’s issues.”
