[post_ads]White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Saturday that the White House decided to cancel an interview between CNN and national security adviser John Bolton after a CNN reporter "disrespected" President Trump earlier this week.
CNN's "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper on Saturday tweeted that the White House intervened and canceled a scheduled interview with Bolton who "remains fully prepared to do the interview" on Sunday.
"Actually a @CNN reporter disrespected @POTUS & PM May during their press conference," Sanders tweeted in response. "Instead of rewarding bad behavior, we decided to reprioritize the TV appearances for administration officials."

Nice try, @johnrobertsFox. Your omission is glaring and your compliment backhanded. Next time try and show some class in the moment. And in your statement.— Matt Dornic (@mdornic) July 13, 2018
Dornic later shared that Roberts had blocked him on Twitter.
