Acosta, back at it, lying again.
Via Free Beacon:
CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta misrepresented remarks President Donald Trump made during a Rose Garden speech selling a White House immigration plan.
Acosta tweeted during the Thursday speech that Trump had “[painted] asylum seekers with a broad brush,” saying of them “these are frivolous claims.”
But Trump did almost the opposite, stressing the importance of legitimate asylum seekers and distinguishing them from illegitimate asylum seekers. “These are frivolous claims” was said about the specific class of illegitimate asylum seekers.
