DAMN: Sarah Sanders says John Bolton's CNN appearance pulled so as not to 'reward bad behavior'

It appears that National Security Adviser John Bolton will not be appearing on Jake Tapper’s “State of the Union” Sunday after all — the White House has decided to “reprioritize” TV appearances.

Tapper announced the news Saturday afternoon.

Update: @AmbJohnBolton had been locked in for tomorrow’s @CNNSOTU. Then the president attacked CNN during his UK presser, and our WH correspondent tried to ask a question. We are told Amb. Bolton remains fully prepared to do the interview but the White House has canceled it.

So CNN was going to host Bolton even though Trump had “attacked” CNN by passing over correspondent Jim Acosta? That’s too bad; we would have like to have seen Bolton, even if we had to tune in CNN to do it.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders then replied, explaining why the White House was “reprioritizing TV appearances”:

Actually a @CNN reporter disrespected @POTUS & PM May during their press conf. Instead of rewarding bad behavior, we decided to reprioritize the TV appearances for administration officials. https://t.co/58LaJH6WaD

Did she really say “instead of rewarding bad behavior?” Oh yes she did.

It's about time Acosta gets called out. He disrespects every presser he's been to. I saw it, he is an embarrassment.
There should be a way to stop him…oh wait, Trump did…he called him out in front of everyone.??

I saw it too and Acosta did not wait again he interjected himself talking, he was rude and unprofessional just like in NK shouting at POtUS. About time he learns his lesson. No one else did that yesterday they are right to cancel. Since when is the press allowed to shout? RUDE

Hey, @jaketapper when the kids act up, they get punished. Try asking your colleagues to stop acting so rudely and disrespectfully and start acting like a bunch of whining children. Try it, I bet it works. People may even start tuning into your shows.

As your colleague @Acosta said on a hot mic, “that’s the way it goes, baby." https://t.co/mKBooHmy6v

The woman really does know how to kick the hornets’ nest.

The White House is run by traitorous two year olds.

Enjoy prison, Sarah!

Jesus Sarah you cock eyed liar, you really are a terrible human being. I hope you enjoy not a single moment of peace in public for the rest of your sad, revolting life.

@PressSec when you were asked to leave a restaurant, you said you show respect to others. You call yourself a Christian??? The lies you tell will come back to haunt you. Shame on you. Your children will learn what their mother did to this country and hate you.

Sarah, You need to think very carefully from here on out about what you say and how you say it. The indictments yesterday clearly showed that the investigation has moved into finding treasonous activity. If you are guilty of any of this you will hang alongside the other traitors

OK then.

P.S. Here’s CNN’s report on Acosta being passed over for anyone who missed it:
