During Thursdays audio-only White House daily briefing, deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders received a question from CBS Radio News that touted far-left Senate protesters that have claimed that the proposed Senate Republican health care bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare would cause people to die.

“I wanted to ask just about some of the reaction from the left that we've seen this week,” White House correspondent Steven Portnoy began to which Huckabee Sanders joked that she’s “sure it’s friendly.”

Portnoy continued, promoting this nonsense from the militant left that a Republican health care plan would kill people:

Well, our microphones caught a woman who was dragged off from McConnell's office this morning. She was screaming, my child is going to die, and my family is going to die and they don't give a damn about it. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said this week the Democrats are going to lie down on the train tracks to stop this bill from passing. What do you make of all that? What's your reaction to it?

Huckabee Sanders immediately responded, in part, that she “certainly think[s] that not just Republicans but I think any American would certainly not support something that allows a child to die and the goal is, again, to look for the best health care possible that actually provides care, not just gives insurance, but actually provides care.”

Earlier, NBC News chief White House correspondent Hallie Jackson framed the media’s narrative in the briefing that the health care questions would all be from the left:

And on that final product, the President — the Senate bill — by analysis so far, cuts -Medicaid, it doesn't look like it will cut deductibles for folks. Does that have enough heart? Does the President think that is a bill that is not mean?

Further indicating the reality that this new proposal was created by Senate GOP leadership and not the White House, Huckabee Sanders maintained that President Trump is “going to continue that process” of negotiations “with both House and Senate members and his administration until we get the best bill that we can.”
