Donald Trump unloaded on CNN on Monday, minutes before taking the stage at a rally in Columbus, Ohio.

In a series of tweets, the Republican nominee denounced the cable network as Hillary Clinton's "press shop," critiquing its news judgment and coverage while suggesting that the network's anchors are Clinton supporters.


"CNN will soon be the least trusted name in news if they continue to be the press shop for Hillary Clinton," Trump began, adding, "CNN anchors are completely out of touch with everyday people worried about rising crime, failing schools and vanishing jobs."

Trump then offered up what he would rather see from the network.

When will we see stories from CNN on Clinton Foundation corruption and Hillary's pay-for-play at State Department? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 1, 2016





Will CNN send its cameras to the border to show the massive unreported crisis now unfolding -- or are they worried it will hurt Hillary? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 1, 2016

Continuing to hit the network's talent, Trump added, "The people who support Hillary sit behind CNN anchor chairs, or headline fundraisers - those disconnected from real life."

"People believe CNN these days almost as little as they believe Hillary....that's really saying something!" Trump wrote.

The tweets are only the latest instance of the Manhattan mogul lashing out at the network.

"[email protected] is all negative when it comes to me," Trump tweeted June 27, adding, "I don't watch it anymore."

A CNN spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment.
