President Trump, who has always been outspoken in his criticism of media coverage he feels is unbalanced, took to Twitter on Friday morning to blast their recent coverage of a group of his supporters chanting "send her back" at a rally.

He said on Friday morning, "It is amazing how the Fake News Media became 'crazed' over the chant 'send her back' by a packed Arena (a record) crowd in the Great State of North Carolina, but is totally calm & accepting of the most vile and disgusting statements made by the three Radical Left Congresswomen..."

Trump had previously disavowed the crowd chant saying, "I was not happy with it — I disagree with it." He has been critical of perceived anti-American and anti-Israel comments made by several ultra-liberal Democratic lawmakers, such as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley. The president has also consistently vowed that he is not a racist.

He continued on Friday, "....Mainstream Media, which has lost all credibility, has either officially or unofficially become a part of the Radical Left Democrat Party. It is a sick partnership, so pathetic to watch! They even covered a tiny staged crowd as they greeted Foul Mouthed Omar in Minnesota, a State which I will win in #2020 because they can’t stand her and her hatred of our Country, and they appreciate all that I have done for them (opening up mining and MUCH more) which has led to the best employment & economic year in Minnesota’s long and beautiful history!"

The president then specifically cited a columnist for the New York Times who had recently written a post in which he called Trump a "racist." Friedman, ostensibly supporting a Democratic president in 2020 in a July 16 post, wrote of the possibility that Trump will get reelected, "Four years of Trump unburdened by the need to run for re-election and able to amplify his racism, make Ivanka secretary of state, appoint even more crackpots to his cabinet and likely get to name two right-wing Supreme Court justices under the age of 40."

Referring to him as "The Chin," Trump criticized him saying "Thomas 'the Chin' Friedman, a weak and pathetic sort of guy, writes columns for The New York Times in between rounds of his favorite game, golf. Two weeks ago, while speaking to a friend on his cell phone, I unfortunately ended up speaking to Friedman. We spoke for a while and..."

The president continued, "....he could not have been nicer or more respectful to your favorite President, me. Then I saw the column he wrote, 'Trump Will Be Re-elected, Won’t He?' He called me a Racist, which I am not, and said Rhode Island went from economically bad to great in 5 years because the..... Governor of the State did a good job. That may be true but she could not have done it without the tremendous economic success of our Country & the turnaround that my Administration has caused. Really Nasty to me in his average I.Q. Columns, kissed my a.. on the call. Phony!"
