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.
