White House press secretary Sarah Sanders braved the cold Tuesday morning to blast Democrats for holding up negotiations on an immigration bill.

Fox News cohost Ainsley Earhardt asked why the White House has been unable to make a deal on DACA and immigration, and Sanders placed the blame squarely on Democrats.
“Sadly, I think it’s really simple,” Sanders said. “I think Democrats don’t want to see this president be successful.”
“I think that he has had a huge year, 2017, one of the best first years of any president that we’ve seen,” she continued. “You have win after win after win of this president and I don’t think they want to hand him another one.”
Sanders accused the Democrats of “penalizing the country” over this dislike for President Trump and their reluctance to let him sign a successful immigration bill.
“Hopefully Democrats will stop doing that and they’ll start putting their country before their party, and hopefully they’ll start doing what they were elected to come here to do,” Sanders asserted.
