Sarah Sanders: Twitter lets Trump reach people without 'media filtering'

Deputy White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters Monday that Twitter is President Trump’s way to circumvent media bias and speak directly to Americans.

“I think social media for the president is extremely important,” Sanders said. “It gives him the ability to speak directly to the people without the bias of the media filtering communication. He has over 100 plus million contacts through social media and all those platforms. I think it’s a very important tool for him to utilize.”
