Sanders slammed the media this week for reporting on rumors about Melania Trump, saying that it was an “an “outrageous and ridiculous claim” to say that the first lady wasn’t living at the White House.
“I hope that they’ll do better next time.” (RELATED: ‘Outrageous And Ridiculous’ — Sarah Sanders Skewers The Media For Spreading Rumors About Melania Trump)
