sarah huckabee sanders. queen of the press room and mother of lies. ( laughter ) ever since a virginia chicken restaurant asked her to leave this weekend the big debate in america has been do government officials have the right to be left alone when they're off the clock? if sarah huckabee sanders gets asked to leave a restaurant, or if kirstjen nielsen is heckled while she's eating mexican food, if stephen miller is out on a date and somebody-- i'm messing with you. that will never happen. come on. ( laughter ) no, no, no, for real, for real. the question is, is it right for people to protest government officials if they see them in public? and if you listen to a lot of cable news pundits, they have the answer. >> we need to stop all this and begin to behave in a civilized manner. >> if we can't agree to disagree and let each other be, and neither side wants to do that, it becomes a problem. >> there are certain lines i think that even in this breakdown of civility we've had in politics thateople realize yo

trish: early in the hour i spoke with former governor mike huckabee about his daughter sarah. he defended her as she got booted from that virginia restaurant. here is governor huckabee listen >> well, it's an incredible thing when people in the name of their liberty want to deny someone else there's, and if you're in the hospitality business your number one goal is to be hospitable. the owner of that restaurant was not hospitable. trish: was she within her legal right? the lack of respect for poll differences i say has gone way too far and this is disgusting to see frankly right now as a country, apparently this owner of the restaurant, according to fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano had every right to say i don't want you here. explain. >> first let me say that mike is such, he's talking at the fact this was his daughter was very very restrained but here is the law. now the federal civil rights act of 1964 which governs public accommodations prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, age, gender, and place of birth. it does not prohibit discrimination

sarah huckabee sanders is a phenomenal person.rked with her on the campaign, and she just wants to serve her country. and these types of establishments if they don't want trump supporters there, if they don't want people who work for the administration there, they should simply just put a sign out on the door or in the window because i'm sure many people like myself wouldn't want to spend our money there anyway. cheryl: yeah, that's interesting. well, sarah sanders former governor huckabee responded about this whole incident to fox just a few moments ago. i want you to listen what he said. >> it's an incredible thing when people in the name of their liberty want to deny someone else theirs. and if you're in the hospitality business, your goal is to be hospitable. the owner of that restaurant was not hospitable. in fact, a little unknown fact about this story is after sarah and her husband left and the family relocated to the owner across the street, the owner of the red hen then organized an effort to go scream at them at the side

now there is the issue of sarah huckabee sanders at that restaurant.akes those statements. president trump comes on twitter and cranks it up even further. now one of your republican colleagues there in the house marcia blackburn running for senate in tennessee is trying to fund raise, trying to raise money for her campaign off of republican anger about what maxine waters said, republican anger over the restaurant incident with sarah huckabee sanders. is that an appropriate thing for a candidate for office to be doing? >> i am critical of what maxine waters said. i know the congresswoman. and i have served with her on the financial services committee before i moved to the energy and commerce committee but i thought those were very unfortunate remarks. as you know, steve, i lead by example. i try to be civil with everyone, with those who support me, with those who do not support me. i have been critical of the president where i do not believe he has been civil. and i'm certainly critical of the situation regarding the restaurant in northern virginia and

red hen restaurant in virginia is closed tod after the owner asked white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders to leave. >> this move was purely political. s just addressed the controversy to reporters today calling it unacceptable. some believe the restaurant owner's actions were inappropriate while others were praising the behavior. >> now that controversy isg spreado the district, but to a differe restaurant some 200 miles away. it just happened to have the same ne. ne 4 derrick ward is live with reaction from the red hen owner in d.c. derrick.he >> reporter: you're in business, especially in the restaurant business, you want to make sure that you're branded, that people kw who they are. this restaurant, just because of the coincidence happen to find themselves in uncomfortable position of making sure people know who they aren't. the d.c. restaurant called red hen has beenetting a lot of unwanted attention. they're not affiliated in any way with the lexington virginia red hen, the one that booted the white house pss secretary over politics. but the hc. restauran been getting harassi

. >> i want sarah huckabee sanders is doing and claiming from the podium. she made false statements as we know to the press and therefore to the american public about whether or not it was president trump who dictated that statement on air force one about -- and that was wrong and we now know that was wrong from the president's lawyers. so obviously reporters wanted to ask sarah huckabee sanders about that, about why she got it wrong, not about what the president did, not about his legal troubles, not about russia, about why she got it wrong. shee here's that exchange yesterday. >> once again i'm not going to go into detail and go into a back and forth. >> why can't you correct the record now? >> i'm not going to answer questions that deal specifically with cversations between the outside counsel and the special counsel. again, i am not going to get into a back and forth with that and i refer you to the outside counsel. >> was your statement accurate or inaccurate? >> i know you want to get me into a back and forth with you on this -- >> you said something.

at the time, from this podium sarah huckabee sanders said that the president didn't dictate it. again, the letter said he did. sarah was pressed on that and said she wouldn't engage this the conferring because it related to a letter from the president's outside legal team. what it fails to address is what sarasanders herself sd whi is that the president didn't dictate it. the bottom line is why should you believe anything that comes from sarah huckabee sanders when she is speaking from behind the podium? >> yeah, this is now got the makings of them winding themselves around their axel because the white house has denied thing that have happened in the past that the president is now confirming. >> i think you are exactly right. all i would say to that, the same way there are mistake bias a journalistic corporation you would quickly correct it. the white house should quickly correct the facts. >> the president and his lawyers have been trying to keep robert mueller's team from forcing trump to answer questions on obstruction for months. the "new york times" obtained a memo that trum

i'm not worried about sarah huckabee sanders. about the african-american kid in school who gets harassed by kids who think they have a license to harass because the president said so. i'm worried about the hispanic citizen who is called ms-13 because the president calls immigrants members of ms-13. i'm not worried about sarah huckabee sanders. i'm worried about millions of kids who are seeing a different america. >> it is hard to have lectures on civility from the trump administration. the president yesterday is attacking -- he started his campaign calling mexicans rapists. yesterday he is attacking democrats. sarah huckabee sanders' father is tweeting attacks and nancy pelosi being supported by ms-13 gang members. i think that is the challenge here which is this week has been a particularly tough week in that the trump administration has a policy which most americans do think is a policy debate but is frankly imoral. >> governor mike huckabee tweeted something in which he called people who asked his daughter to leave a restauran

sarah huckabee sanders is expected to be back on defense as she gets ready to answer questions on a number of issues at today's briefing which hasn't begun yet. the inspector general report on the investigation into hillary clinton's private e-mail server is out. it found no indication, no indication of political bias with one possible exception on a questionable text message. but the investigator general's report is being overshadowed by two controversies surrounding the president this hour. the administration is taking serious heat from both sides of the aisle over trump's new policy of separating parents from their children at the u.s./mexico border. today, on donald trump's 72nd birthday we learned that the new york attorney general is suing the trump foundation. the suit alleges the president and his adult children illegally used money from the private foundation for personal, business, and political expenses. the lawsuit alleges it has been happening more than a decade. the president sprung into action with his twitter fingers saying witch-hunt, no collusion, no crime, blaming democr

that's 2,000 individual stories more important than where sarah huckabee sanders almost had dinner on friday, right, more important than maxine waters calling for peaceful protests. more important than democratic infighting about their strategy, which believe it or not is going to happen next week and the week after that and every week of the administration, and indefinitely forever. one thing about the democrats they like to fight with each other about how they should do this, right. we don't know when these children are going to be reunified. we don't have real reassurances from the administration that these policies have completely stopped happening. we believe, we've been told the prosecutions have stopped from the head of customs and border patrol, but at the same time the attorney general is arguing that no, we're continuing this zero tolerance policy and so i do think we want to continue to look at this and thing about it. that said, also i think we should be careful in demonizing or even decrying the democratic strategy here. we think back just one cycle ago, republicans took

ainsley: what's your reaction to the way rhetoric of maxine waters, folks coming to pam bondi and sarah huckabee sanders, the rhetoric is hitting fever pitch and we know that sarah sanders is getting secret service at her house, what's your reaction? >> my reaction is difference, ainsley, between rhetoric and social media muscle and cable news and people inciting for crime and violins. the case of actor -- who i forgot about in california, he has a new movie coming out. it's a great fanfare, he's actually had tweeted out that someone should go to her house and take her children, god for bid. this is not insulting all the stuff that we are u to around here, insulting what somebody said or how they look, where they work or what they wear, this is calling for something much deeper and that's very, very concerning to many people. i also hope, a number of these executives in the media who are on top floors of building are paying very close attention to what's being said by some of their commentators and some of their writers, people who are -- reporters have cable news contracts, are obviously on soc

sarah huckabee sanders has now left. what did we miss? >> well, it was a very spirited briefing, obviously. >> whether you sn you say spiriu mean contentious? >> contentious is a fair word as well with the dhs secretary. she was asked a range of questions including is she comfortable with the images, kids in cages that we all saw today. the sounds of children crying. she went back to the talking point which we expected which is that the president wants to see broader immigration reform and, therefore, make the separation of parents and children unnecessary. however, i pressed her over and over again on the fact that, look this stemmed from the zero tolerance policy. she tried to make the case that this is nothing new. but the reality is, of course, the rate at which we're seeing parents being separated from their children is much greater than we've ever witnessed. and therefore, is a result of the zero tolerance policy. again, she firmly pushed back on that and said the only way to resolve this is through broad immigration reform. now, of

we see people talking about sarah huckabee sanders and the restaurant and nazis and hitler.vered the policy questions congress is scrambling to solve and that is absent in this debate of how we should proceed with our laws and policies. i think that it is a strategy on the part of president trump. it is a strategy to tweet this divisive rhetoric. >> maxine waters over the weekend, she is out there after sarah huckabee sanders gets kicked out of the restaurant and saying do more. >> i think that is good for trump. trump wants that. >> and bad for her. people on all political sides are calling this a dog whistle. here is what mike huckabee posted. he posted this picture and it read there is that picture. pelosi introduces her campaign committee for the takeback of the house. >> i think they tried to play the game of this isn't really racial. this is just about an issue but there are clear implications. as a writer and reporter where words matter and pictures matter these are things that we always think about when we decide what to publish and how to publish it. i think huckabe

and sarah huckabee sanders has been under fire of late forced to defend her own credibility. last summer she said the president did not dictate a press release about the trump tower russia meeting, then the lawyers put out a note saying the president did dictate that that has put sarah huckabee sanders on the defensive in recent days. here's what she said in the press briefing room about her own credibility. >> i work every single day to give you accurate and up-to-date information. i will continue to do that frankly i think my credibility is probably higher than the media's. i think in large part that's because you guys spend more of your time focused on attacking the president instead of reporting the news i think that if you spent a little bit more time reporting the news instead of trying to tear me down you might actually see we're working hard trying to provide you good information and trying to provide that same information to the mreamerican people >> sarah huckabee sanders now refusing to answer questions about her statement that the president did not dictate the pre
