CNN’s Acosta: Trump White House ‘in a Losing Battle with the Truth’

‘I think we saw why this White House rarely does press briefings’

EXCERPT:

ACOSTA: "Well, obviously they are on the defensive, Wolf, and I think we saw why this White House rarely does press briefings. They are in a losing battle with the truth, it seems, on many days. So you saw the press secretary up here at the podium trying to sell the whopper that President Trump was not mocking Christine Blasey Ford last night at that rally in Mississippi. He was obviously mocking Christine Blasey Ford. Only the most partisan, you know, Trump supporter would argue otherwise. And I think Sarah Sanders was trying to just essentially get through this briefing answering that question over and over again. She told me at the end of the briefing that the President was just trying to deliver facts. That is obviously not the case. And I asked the follow-up question, 'Do you believe that Judge Kavanaugh is the victim here?' She said that Judge Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford are victims of the Democrats. So the partisan talking points were certainly on display at this briefing, Wolf."
