Katy Tur: We’re Holding the White House ‘Accountable’ and ‘Calling Them on Their Lies’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TUR: "No. It isn’t surprise me. Donald Trump said he would be more presidential when he was elected. He has not been more presidential. That’s not the way he operates. That’s not who he is. He is exactly the same person now as he was on the campaign trail. And speaking to members, people close to him and close to the White House today. They were saying that the White House feels like it is under siege. The president himself feels like he is being attacked all the time. So when it comes to taking on Twitter and lobbing a personal attack against a morning anchor, most people in this country, most members of Congress were able to ask today found distasteful and beneath office that he holds. The White House feels they need to do this, to equalize things, to combat what they feel are the attacks coming from the press. Let me break it down. The attacks coming from the press are us reporting on stories that are out there. Us reporting on a federal investigation into this administration and the campaign, and whether it had, excuse me, the campaign, and whether hit any ties to Russia leading up to the election. Any ties to Russia and the hacking. And an investigation now into this president about whether he obstructed justice. Those are just facts and those are facts are being reported on. We’re also holding the white House accountable. And calling they will out on their inconsistencies, their false hoods, their lies, and if the White House and the president have a problem with that, that’s unfortunate. That’s just the status quo. That’s the way things are in this country. That’s the way they’ve always been."
