Legendary Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein delivers harsh criticism of Donald Trump lies.
Legendary Watergate journalist and CNN commentator Carl Bernstein on Sunday excoriated Donald Trump for his constant lying saying Trump lies “day in and day out.”
“He deserves respect as the duly elected president of the United States,” Bernstein said on CNN’s “Reliable Sources.” “That doesn’t mean he deserves not to be called on lies. He has lied as no president of the United States in my lifetime has, day in and day out.”
“It is our job to, as I said in that address to the correspondents’ dinner last night: follow the money, yes, but follow the lies as well.”
Bernstein urged fellow reporters to find the truth. “We are struggling to cover factually, contextually, with nuance, who this president is, who this individual is, who his family is, who his business relationships are with, what his policies are, and how those working with him are doing,” he said.
