NBC’s Hallie Jackson Asks Huckabee Sanders If Trump Has ‘A Problem with the 1st Amendment’

During today’s press briefing, NBC’s Hallie Jackson pressed Sarah Huckabee Sanders on President Trump‘s criticisms of NFL players over the past few days.

Jackson noted how the President is meant to defend the Constitution and asked, “Does the President have a problem with the First Amendment?”

“Not at all,” Huckabee Sanders responded. “The President is simply stating that pride in our country is a good thing, it’s something that we should all celebrate.”

CNN’s Jim Acosta went next and asked if the President is trying to wage a “culture war.” Huckabee Sanders dismissed the idea and again said the President is talking about pride in our country.
