The bitter Clinton News Network really hates Donald Trump.

Reporter Jim Acosta’s big scoop — or so he thought: President Trump didn’t really visit injured Rep. Steve Scalise when he claimed he did.

Scalise, two congressional staffers and two Capitol police officers were shot by a crazy leftist gunman during a baseball practice on Wednesday morning.

That evening, President Trump and First Lady Melania visited Scalise at a Washington hospital:

Just left hospital. Rep. Steve Scalise, one of the truly great people, is in very tough shape – but he is a real fighter. Pray for Steve! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 15, 2017

But Acosta tweeted:

“WH official on hospital visit: ‘President Trump did not meet with Scalise and did not go into the room where Scalise is being treated,” he reported Wednesday evening.

Acosta was forced to delete that tweet and report the exact opposite a short time later.

Acosta acknowledged the president visited “Scalise’s room”.

Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs also reported Trump’s visit:

Why is CNN unable to cut Trump slack on anything?

It’s no wonder Trump sparred with Acosta during a February news conference.

President Trump told the CNN reporter that he changed his nickname for the network from “fake news” to “very fake news.”

During a press conference in which he named names and put the media on notice, Trump told Acosta, “I’m changing it from fake news.”

As Acosta asked a question, Trump continued, “Very fake news,” as the room — including Acosta — burst out into laughter.

Trump went on to tell the media that “the public doesn’t believe you people anymore.”

And bitter CNN still can’t figure out why.
