EXCERPT:

HUCKABEE SANDERS: "I said the slip of the tongue was in using the word countless. ... I’m sorry that I wasn’t a robot like the Democratic Party that went out for two and a half years and stated time and time again that there was definitely Russian collusion between the president and his campaign. ... I said that it was in the heat of the moment, meaning it wasn’t a scripted thing, it was something that I said. ... The big takeaway here is that the sentiment is 100 percent accurate."

KING: "The sentiment is not 100 percent accurate, it wasn’t then and it isn’t now. Comey was — had some issues, but he was actually pretty well-liked when he was running the bureau. Number two, I have some empathy because of who she works for. She's essentially told to lie every day, but should we or more importantly you at home — I mean, how do you believe anything they say?"
COLLINS: "Well, that’s the point. It’s not — this is not just pitting the White House against the press corps that covers the White House, that’s a taxpayer funded press secretary. So when she makes a comment from the podium, she says it’s a slip of the tongue she actually made it multiple times and I was there that day. A reporter gave her the chance to walk it back. They said, 'Really, Sarah? Countless people have called you from the FBI?' She said, yes, she had received e-mails and texts from a large number of people at the FBI, even though she gave the caveat she didn’t know many people who worked at the FBI."
