(CNSNews.com) - White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany lashed out at the mainstream media on Thursday, saying that they are the ones that need to be fact-checked, not the president.
“On Twitter, shouldn't the president be fact-checked, especially this president who has made so many false and misleading statements that he has put fact-checkers to work across the world? These 18,000 false or misleading statements according to The Washington Post, If there's any president out there that should be fact-checked, a political leader should be fact-checked, isn't it president trump? Aren't you trying to silence fact-checking by going after Twitter like this?” CNN’s Jim Acosta asked.
McEnany responded by pointing out mistakes that the liberal media has made, some of which came from Acosta’s own network.
