President-elect Donald Trump fired off a series of tweets late Monday night criticizing CNN for reporting that his claims about voter fraud are baseless -- which they are.Shortly after 9 p.m., Trump began retweeting supporters who had criticized CNN's Jeff Zeleny because he accurately reported that there was no evidence -- nor has the transition team provided any-- to support Trump's claim that millions of fraudulent votes had been cast for Hillary Clinton.
One post Trump retweeted came from a Twitter user whose bio says he's 16, who, like the others, called Zeleny a "bad reporter" because he did not have evidence that Trump was not a victim of voter fraud, a double-negative reasoning used to defend many conspiracy theories.
Finally, Trump issued his own attack on CNN: ".@CNN is so embarrassed by their total (100%) support of Hillary Clinton, and yet her loss in a landslide, that they don't know what to do," he wrote.
A CNN spokesperson declined to comment. Zeleny responded to Trump with a request for examples of the fraud.
Trump's penchant for peddling conspiracy theories and attacking critics and media organizations on Twitter is unprecedented, and has been
cause for concern among journalists and media watchdogs who are wrestling with
how to cover a president who is a leading source of misinformation.
