AmericanPravda: The President Responds
Early this Tuesday morning, Donald Trump Jr. began tweeting about CNN’s Fake News reporting, as recently seen in Project Veritas’ latest video release:
Jim I think it's time for a full retraction for this tweet. Its obviously a lie based on the video I just saw form @Project_Veritas #maga
We are real news Mr. President. #realnews
Donald Trump Jr. continues to praise James O’Keefe and Project Veritas in the following Tweet:
He has very good instincts about these kind of things.

Shortly after, the President himself tweeted the following about Fake News reported by CNN:
Fake News CNN is looking at big management changes now that they got caught falsely pushing their phony Russian stories. Ratings way down!
President Trump continued the Fake News conversation, asking about the rest of the MSM being held accountable as well, by tweeting:
So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News!
James O’Keefe from Project Veritas responded to the President directly by tweeting the following:

CNN finally responded to the President’s “allegations” with the following Tweet:

I'd say he renewed his attacks after it was widely known that @Project_Veritas had video proof that #fakenews was being created by @cnn
