Trump Suggests Reporter be Fired Over Inaccurate Tweet
- 7 years ago
President Donald Trump on Saturday suggested a Washington Post reporter be fired over a misleading tweet. Trump accused the reporter of publishing "FAKE NEWS" and demanded an apology. Reporter Dave Weigel apologized and said he had already deleted the tweet. Weigel, posted a photo of a near-empty stadium with the caption "Packed to the rafters," inaccurately suggesting it was taken during Trump's Florida rally on Friday. In fact, the photo was taken before the rally began.
