The contentious back-and-forth came as Cuomo accused the president of consistently lying and demonizing people for being different.

"He doesn't lie. He doesn't lie," McEnany retorted. "The press lies."

She repeated that Trump "doesn't lie" before stating, "Guess who lies? The press lies."

"You don't think this president has ever lied?" Cuomo quickly shot back, before speaking over McEnany and asking, "You don’t think the president has lied to the American people? You have to answer that question first. He has never lied to the American people?"

"I don't think the president has lied. No, I don't think the president has lied," she responded.

"Kayleigh McEnany, your credibility will be shot with my audience if you don't back off that statement," Cuomo said, prompting McEnany to claim that CNN and MSNBC have lied to the American people.

"I think that fake news has lied to the American people," she said, before going on to accuse the press of lying about the president in its coverage of Russian election interference.

"I’ll ask you this one more time, McEnany do you believe this president has ever lied to the American people?" Cuomo asked.

“No,” McEnany, a former CNN contributor and Republican National Committee spokesperson, said. “I don’t believe the president has lied.”
