And in one fantastic zinger, Sarah Huckabee Sanders reminds Democrats (and NBC) that they used to love Donald Trump until he became President of the United States:
.@PressSec responding to D's 'racist' charge against Trump: "Why did NBC give him a show for a decade on TV, why did Chuck Schumer and all of his colleagues come and beg Donald Trump for money.”

"I think that is an outrageous claim and frankly I think if the critics of the president were who he said he was why did NBC give him a show for a decade on TV." — Sarah Sanders on why Trump isn't a racist

Watch!
During remarks to reporters just now, @PressSec said NBC's relationship with Trump & the fact he donated to Dems is evidence he isn't racist.

Maybe Dems will give back all of the Trump donations?
More from Sanders on the national debate between s*ithole vs. s*ithouse:
.@PressSec on s-hole language: "The president hasn’t said he didn’t use strong language and this is an important issue, he’s passionate about it, he’s not going to apologize for trying to fix our immigration system.”

Asked why Trump has privately defended his "shithole" remark but publicly denied it, Sarah Sanders tells me, “The president hasn’t said he didn’t use strong language…He’s passionate about it. He’s not going to apologize for trying to fix our immigration system."

"The president hasn’t said he didn’t use strong language," says @PressSec this morning of @POTUS expletive. "And this is an important issue. He’s passionate about it. He’s not going to apologize for trying to fix our immigration system," she says. pic.twitter.com/NvRKt29EaR
