CNN host Brian Stelter: Trump is a 'well-documented' liar




CNN host Brian Stelter on Sunday criticized President Trump, calling him a liar and saying his lies have been well-documented.

"President Trump is the leader of the United States. He is also a liar," Stelter said on his show, "Reliable Sources."

"This has been well-documented. Lying was a big part of his business strategy — he called it 'truthful hyperbole.' Now, as commander in chief, he misleads the public constantly."

Stelter addressed public criticism that news outlets have been loath to call Trump a "liar" or use the word "lie" to characterize his falsehoods.

"I understand why many of you want news outlets to use the 'L-word,' 'lie,' more often. You want us to affirm what we all see: that Trump has a truth problem," he said. "You [the public] want us to recognize that it's damaging the country and you want us to rethink how we do our jobs as a result."

Stelter went on to question whether on-air reporters should read the president's tweets aloud — something MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace stopped doing during a report on Friday.
