White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that CNN reporter Jim Acosta “whines” like her children in a playful video and story by conservative website The Daily Caller.

The video put out for Mother’s Day asks some of the mothers of the White House about raising kids and working for the president at the same time. In it, reporter Benny Johnson asks Sanders, “What’s harder, dealing with your children when they are having a bad or onerous day or dealing with Jim Acosta?”

After laughing, Sanders responded to the query.

“Probably depends on the day. Both of them can whine pretty regularly. They both like to ask the same questions and sometimes their tone needs to be adjusted a little bit,” said Sanders.

She continued her answer in the written portion of the interview.

“So I think that having kids has prepared me for the job that I have right now. In all seriousness, I think that having kids is great preparation for anything—especially a job you need patience for and they have certainly prepared me for this one.”

Acosta has gotten into heated back and forths with Sanders during White House press briefings during her tenure in the role. Acosta has also drawn the ire of President Donald Trump, who in the past called him “Crazy Jim Acosta.” Trump, a vociferous critic of news media, has often derided Acosta’s network CNN as “fake news.”

White House Director of Strategic Communications Mercedes Schlapp also teased the media in the video.

“Sometimes I feel that there’s a connection between the children and the White House press corps. They’re very demanding, both of them. And they’re very opinionated, both of them,” said Schlapp.
