White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders utterly unloaded on CNN this week; blasting the network after suggesting pro-Trump troops were “violating a military rule” by having the president sign their iconic ‘MAGA’ hats.

“Troops bringing President Trump ‘Make America Great Again’ hats to sign may have violated a military rule,” tweeted CNN after images of the Commander-in-Chief meeting US troops in Iraq surfaced on social media.

“CNN will attack anyone who supports President Trump, including the brave men and women of our military who fight everyday to protect our freedom,” fired-back Sanders.
