Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., accused President Trump of repeatedly lying to the American people and using propaganda to stir confusion and mislead the public.
In a Thursday night interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Booker said the media coverage of Trump should resemble reporting on any other politician. He argued that liars should be called “liars” and propaganda should be called “propaganda.”
“I don’t understand why the media is treating Donald Trump with such kid gloves. These are not ‘untruths.’ These are not ‘alternate facts.’ These are lies and propaganda,” Booker said.
“We have seen the president of the United States and his officials repeatedly lying to the American public and pushing out ... what could be called propaganda to mislead the public. He needs to be called on it, and we as the American public should not accept a president that routinely lies blatantly to the American people.”

T-minus 2 hours until Trump tweets a temper-tantrum like response.
- like any good politician********
- for a moment, forget he's a D politician and read those words. I'll ask you... do you believe Trump has mislead and lied?hobgoblin
- I don't believe he's lying. Actually, I'm very, very surprised he is signing these executive orders to do what he promised. VERY surprised.********
- as for propaganda, isn't that fair game? don't they all use it. Did Obama or W or Clinton?********
- So you believe his inauguration was the biggest ever? You believe Pizzagate?hobgoblin
- depends on how you define biggest. in terms of attendance (physical), or viewers. how many different apps and devices? hard to say there********
- Pizzagate definitely not. That's clown shit. DJT is going to use whatever he can to get reelected.********
- You gotta be shitting me. Why do I even bother. it's like talking to a goddamn child with you.hobgoblin
- If you can't look at two similar photos and see one has more people than the other than you are a bigger dipshit than I ever imagined.hobgoblin
- WTF are you talking about? Spicer was referring to the total viewership. Not the piss party charade of showing up on the lawn. You got time for that?********
- I for one think those that have JOBS, yes JOBS do not have the time to show up at an inauguration. WTF does it prove?********
- Trump says that 90M people are unemployed. He's the 'jobs' champion. Quit acting like R's have jobs and D's don't.mathinc
- No he was talking about physical attendance. If you actually heard him he spoke about people standing in certain places. Derp.monospaced
- You're a fucking asshole, Yuri. Can't answer a straight question about the inauguration, you just reply with obfuscation and shite. Fuck off.BuddhaHat
- Spicer was talking specifically about the number of people physically there. Clearly you didn't hear him at the press conference. He mentioned specific numbersmonospaced
- He was replying directly to the FACT being reported that not many people showed up. Apparently that really triggers Trump AND You.monospaced
- enough with you lot alternative facts, this is exactly the fact that started that termmonospaced
