White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders grew frustrated with CNN host Chris Cuomo over the network’s incessant coverage of the Russia investigation, in a Wednesday interview.

“We’ve … never seen the obsession over a total hoax like we have seen over the last year,” Sanders said exasperatedly to Cuomo’s questions.

Cuomo admonished Sanders for calling any investigation into possible collusion a hoax, saying Special Counsel Robert “Mueller has come to no conclusion, the Senate Intelligence Committee have come to no conclusion.”

Sanders struck back, “We have spent a year digging and digging and digging, and everybody comes to the same conclusion … there’s no evidence of collusion.”

“If in a year they haven’t been able to find anything, I think that’s very telling. Here is something else. You guys say you report on both of these things. Ninety percent of the coverage of this president is negative.”

At one point when Cuomo told Sanders the president would benefit from ditching his tweeting habits, she cried out, “Oh, give me a break.”
