CNN host suggests people could believe Trump if he said 'two plus two is five' after Sharpiegate scandal
CNN host Brian Stelter slammed President Donald Trump over the so-called Sharpiegate scandal from the past week, comparing the fiasco to a line from the dystopian novel"The less you believe real reporting, the more you might fall for his [Trump's] unreality," Stelter warned during a segment of his Sunday show."So that when he says two plus two is five, you'll believe him.
On September 1, Trump inaccurately claimed on Twitter that Alabama was among the states"most likely to be hit harder than anticipated" by Hurricane Dorian. In response to the president's warning, the National Weather Service in Birmingham, Alabama, tweeted later:"Alabama will NOT see any impacts from Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east.
An unidentified spokesperson for the agency issued a statement late Friday saying that the president had seen some reports that"tropical-storm-force winds from Hurricane Dorian could impact Alabama." The individuals also criticized the NWS in Birmingham for speaking in"absolute terms that were inconsistent with probabilities from the best forecast products available at the time.
