Videos posted of the confrontation drew wide criticism on social media, but it's not entirely clear what happened. The various sides say they were misunderstood.
Sanders says, "we've reached out and voiced our support." She says no one understands better than President Donald Trump when the media jumps to conclusions and "attacks you for something you may or may not have done."
She says if the president does invite the students from Covington Catholic High School to the White House, it will be sometime after the government shutdown has concluded.
The school was closed Tuesday as a security precaution.
