White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders boiled over with frustration at the press during Thursday's news briefing, telling CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta that "you have a responsibility to tell the truth."

Acosta, who has been a persistent critic of the administration, asked Sanders whether President Trump believes the First Amendment protecting free speech and press rights is as important as the Second Amendment, which enshrines protections for gun owners.

"Absolutely," Sanders said.

"The president is an incredible advocate of the First Amendment.

With the First amendment ... with those freedoms also come responsibilities.

You have a responsibility to tell the truth. To be accurate."

Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted that the Senate Intelligence Committee should investigate "Fake News Networks" to see "why so much of our news is just made up."
