Well, if you watched the press conference today, you know that Sarah Sanders totally blew a chance to lock down Trump's reelection in 2020. And I mean that literally. Probably one of the biggest mistakes I have ever seen live. Now it's a mistake in the sense that it was a missed opportunity. And here's what I mean.

The biggest problem for this president is the lingering accusations that he's a big old white supremacist racist. And the biggest part of that story is the Charlottesville fine people hoax. Now the hoax is the idea that CNN is trying to sell you that Trump said in public — in public, they say — that he said that the neo-Nazis at Charlottesville were fine people. That didn't happen. That never happened.

He was talking about the context of the statue topic, and he said there were fine people on both sides. And when asked to clarify, he clarified and said these guys, hell no, those guys are all bad. I condemn them totally. Not talking about them.

So CNN's Jim Acosta, and then April Ryan, followed up with a question in which they stated it as fact again in the setting up their question for the press conference, that the president had called the neo-Nazis fine people. Sarah Sanders' response was a huge mistake. She said accurately that the president had disavowed these groups, and she was very specific. He has disavowed this group, this white supremacist group. Now that part is true.

And it so misses the opportunity because it let stand the possibility that he'd really said those things. She didn't even address the question. So the question with the premise was that he'd really said those things. Her response did not attack the fact that he had never said those things. It was the worst mistake I've ever seen any politician make in public. Literally, it's the worst mistake I've ever seen in public.
