"False, deceptive, a lie," the CNN host said.
Trump wrapped himself in the flag at an event that was originally supposed to celebrate the Super Bowl champions.
Trump rescinded his White House invitation to the Philadelphia Eagles after most players planned to boycott the visit.
At the White House briefing, reporters asked Sarah Sanders to square its support of free speech when a baker wants to refuse service to a gay couple with its demands that NFL players stand during the national anthem. Reporters also asked about President Donald Trump’s commitment to addressing police-involved shootings.
WHAT'S HAPPENING

The Super Bowl champions had been scheduled to visit the White House on Tuesday.
The network showed players kneeling in prayer, not protesting during the anthem, in a segment on the team's canceled White House visit.
Most of the Eagles players weren't going to attend anyway.
“They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem," Trump tweeted about the Eagles players.
School officials called it "a once in a lifetime event."
