“This is false, Jim,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany scolded CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta after he reported “news” about President Donald Trump.

On Thursday, Acosta claimed on Twitter that Trump’s coronavirus task force had to convince the president he was wrong to think Georgia was ready to reopen all businesses:

News: Members of the coronavirus task force had to convince Trump to change his view on Georgia governor Brian Kemp’s decision to reopen businesses in his state later this week, a source close to the task force tells CNN.

McEnany replied on Twitter, denying Acosta’s allegation and saying she was with Trump throughout his deliberations on the subject, upon which he declared that it's "too soon" to reopen all of Georgia:

To avoid reporting fake news in the future, Acosta should “consider checking with the White House Press Office,” McEnany chided: This is false, Jim. No one “changed” President Trump’s view. I was with him all throughout the day. His mind was made up. His priority has always been to reopen the country SAFELY.

Next time consider checking with the White House Press Office before “reporting” inaccurate info, McEnany advises.
