Sarah Sanders hit back at criticism that General Kelly was fabricating his account of Rep. Frederica Wilson  grandstanding  during an event to dedicate a new FBI office in Texas. The press was all over Sanders who clarified that Rep. Wilson made comments during the event about how she got the funding for the FBI office by picking up the phone and calling Barack.
