President Donald Trump held a news conference Thursday evening, immediately declaring he has won the election, which is a lie. Nor nearly 20 minutes the President spun conspiracy theories and peddled lies about the election being “stolen.”
CNN on-air journalists were stunned by Trump’s remarks.
“That is the President of the United States,” a stunned and disappointed Anderson Cooper said after Trump’s remarks, “and we see him like an obese turtle lying on his back flailing in the hot sun.”
CNN’s Jake Tapper called Trump’s comments “pathetic.” Dana Bash called them “sad.”
Jim Acosta repeatedly called Trump a “sore loser.”
CNN fact checker Daniel Dale called it the most dishonest Trump speech he has ever seen. Dale has literally covered nearly every word Trump has uttered or written.
