“I thought press secretary Sarah Sanders handled it beautifully today when she really read a bill of particulars, an entire litany of facts,” Conway stated. “Things that have been said about her and some violence that has been incited against her, that she is the only press secretary in I guess U.S. history to hear her say it, that’s needed bodyguards and that’s needed Secret Service. I had Secret Service when I got there for much the same reason.”

“They know that beginning with Hillary Clinton, they referred to as irredeemable and deplorable and looked down upon — they know that Barack Obama, when he was running for president, said these people who cling to their god and their guns, and he’s had other things to say— just always dismissing them, and this is why it is a very important point. I’m not sure they care anymore,” she continued.

Conway was talking about the interaction between Sanders and CNN’s Jim Acosta that occurred during the press briefing on Thursday. When Acosta asked if she would condemn the president’s classification of the press as “the enemy of the people,” she responded by listing all of the ways that the media has attacked her during her time in the administration.  (RELATED: Acosta Demands Sanders Denounce ‘Enemy Of The People’ Rhetoric)

“A lot of these journalists have very expensive seven-figure contracts, go on late-night TV where they can yuk it up with someone similarly situation and who can laugh all day long, particularly about the women in the Trump Administration, then they can go and give speeches — I mean, they speak for free every single day, and half the country, most of the country doesn’t want to listen to them,” she concluded.
