President Trump has called on a large swath of the New York Times staff to resign.

“I don’t think they’ll do it, but they should for the good of the nation — I called for the resignation of everybody at the New York Times involved in the Kavanaugh smear story,” Trump said at his New Mexico rally Monday night.

“And while you’re at it the Russia/witchhunt/hoax, which is just as phony a story,” the president added.

Earlier Monday, Trump had made the same demand via tweet.

The president was angered that the Times had decided to run an essay in the Sunday Review that claimed Brett Kavanaugh, long before he became a Supreme Court justice, exposed himself and forced a female classmate to touch his penis. But the paper left out of the essay the fact that the woman didn’t talk to the Times reporters, who wrote a new book on Kavanaugh, nor did her friends, who said she could not remember the event.

A Kavanaugh classmate, Max Stier, had been the source. The Times was forced to make a correction that prompted a wave of criticism.

“Look at what they’re doing today to Justice Kavanaugh,” Trump said at his rally Monday night.

“Did you see the New York Times, did you see what they’re doing, did you see what Democrats — they’re calling for his resignation, they’re calling for his impeachment. And the woman involved said she didn’t know anything.”

Trump then called for a mass firing from the newspaper.

“They’ve taken the old Gray Lady and broken her down, destroyed her virtue and ruined her reputation,” the president said. “She can never recover and can never return to greatness under current management. The Times is dead, long live the New York Times.

“And I do want it to live, but they have to change their ways,” Trump added.
