CNN)- White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Rep. Frederica Wilson's conduct regarding President Donald Trump's call with Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, is "appalling and disgusting."

"I think it is appalling what the congresswoman has done and the way she has politicized this issue and the way she is trying to make this about something that it isn't," Sanders said Wednesday.

She added: "And I think to try to create something from that that the congresswoman is doing is frankly appalling and disgusting."
