During a speech in Pensacola, FL on Friday, President Trump argued ABC should have fired “fraudster” Brian Ross and CNN “should have been apologizing for the last two years.”
Trump said, “[D]id you see all the corrections the media’s been making? They’re saying, ‘Sorry, we made a –.’ They’ve been doing that all year. They never apologize. Maybe that comes with being the president. I don’t know. They’ve been apologizing left and right. They took this fraudster from ABC. They suspended him for a month. They should have fired him for what he wrote. He drove the stock market down 350 points in minutes, which by the way, tells you they really like me, right? When you think of it, and you know what he cost people? And I said to everybody get yourself a lawyer and sue ABC News, sue them. And CNN apologized just a little while ago. They apologized. Oh, thank you, CNN. Thank you so much. You should have been apologizing for the last two years.”
