(CNSNews.com) – On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders criticized the liberal media’s political agenda, stating, “I think the media has done more to divide this country -- certainly far more than this president ever has.”

At the White House press briefing, Sanders was answereing questions related to President Trump’s recent tweets about Omarosa Manigault-Newman and Omarosa’s claim that Trump used the n-word while on “The Apprentice.”

Sanders said, “I think it is very convenient that these accusations started once the president became someone running for office. He has shown time and time again, through his actions, through his policies, that he wants to be a president for all Americans; that he wants to do everything he can to make America better and not just for a certain group of people, but for everybody.”

“I think that he has made a number of comments about plenty of people,” said Sanders. “And to try to single that out to one group is, frankly, silly, because I think if you did a comparison, he's probably got a lot more nasty things out there about some other people.”

A reporter then asked, “Do you think all of those are appropriate, too?”

Sanders replied, “Look, the president is somebody who's always going to fight fire with fire. This is something that isn't new. And it's something the American people knew when they voted for him, and they overwhelmingly elected him to be the president of the United States. And since he took office, he has governed in a way that is helping all Americans.”

She continued, “Frankly, if we want to look at who's creating divisions in the country, I think the media has done more to divide this country -- certainly far more than this President ever has -- by elevating people like the author of this book, by focusing on a sparsely attended rally instead of all of the policies that this administration and that this president are enacting that are helping people -- not just on the economy but on school choice, on prison reform that's disproportionately affected African Americans and Hispanics.”

“This is a president who is governing to help all Americans, and I think we'd all be better off if the media gave that just a little bit more attention,” said Sanders.
