Trump and CNN: "Oh, they shut off their CAM-ruh! I love it!" (They didn't shut off their CAM-ruh).

Trump falsely claims CNN turned off camera during rally

Donald Trump accused CNN of cutting off video of his Pennsylvania rally on Monday night, saying the network shut off its camera while the GOP nominee was telling a crowd of thousands about the news network's shortcomings.

Trump repeated a false claim he had tweeted earlier, that CNN had purposely manipulated a post-debate focus group to produce a pro-Hillary Clinton result.

"CNN is a disgrace,” Trump said.

Then, Trump claimed CNN had turned its camera off: "Oh, they just turned off their camera! So funny, they just turned off their camera. I love it!” Trump said.

But Trump was wrong. CNN was actually turning its cameras on, and was moments away from going live from the Trump rally with correspondent Sunlen Serfaty. Video from CNN’s broadcast and the raw feed from Trump’s rally confirm that sequence of events.

His gullible, deplorable supporters will have no idea of what the changes really are until the moment they actually can't use it, which could be years from now. And even then, he'll just blame it on Obama. This is sickening. The media and democrats aren't doing enough to expose the lies.
