White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders blasted House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) sour expression at President Trump's State of the Union during an appearance on CNN on Wednesday. "I think that Nancy Pelosi looks like that all the time," Sanders told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "I think she should smile a lot more often. I think the country would be better for it."
Sanders added that Pelosi "seems to kind of embody the bitterness that belongs in the Democrat party right now."
