White House press secretary Sarah Sanders teed off on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday, asking if the California Democrat is planning “a crusade” to take down fences and walls across the country. [House Democrats vote to reopen government and deny Trump wall money, defying veto threat]“I wonder if she’s going to go on a crusade and take down all the fences and walls across this country,” Sanders said during an appearance on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends.” “I certainly hope not. “A wall is an immorality between countries,” she said as the Democrat-led House passed legislation to reopen government without funding the wall. “The president has been clear that he wants border security, and until he gets it, we’ll have to stay in a shutdown,” she said on Fox News, adding: “That’s not what he wants. He wants us to have a functioning government.”Some of Sanders’s comments Friday echoed those of her boss.
