1. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders:

   The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling. Ivanka Trump disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast, and executives at Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting System must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network.
