CNN host Jim Acosta accused President-elect Donald Trump of hypocrisy, stating that Trump criticizes others for spreading fake news while simultaneously promoting false information on Truth Social. Acosta cited a recent post by Trump where he claimed a statement about criminals being worse than those in the US was initially refuted by Democrats and the media but later proven true. Acosta argued that Trump's claim was false and that the president should always tell the truth to the American people.
Thursday on “ CNN Newsroom,” host Jim Acosta claimed President-elect Donald Trump accuses others of spreading fake news while he is “peddling fake news .”ACOSTA: I mean, Neil, I mean, this this is a problem. And, you know, you were saying a few moments ago, you can’t take them literally.
ACOSTA: He is blaming Biden’s open borders policy. He’s talking about that on Truth Social. ‘When I said to the criminals in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the fake news media, but it turned out to be true.’ Not in this case. What he is saying in that Truth Social post is false. That is false.
ACOSTA: Of course. But when there’s an act of terrorism in this country, the incoming president should tell the truth to the American people. I mean, isn’t that what the president should do at all times?
