CNN Producer Deletes Tweet After Sarah Sandersâ Scorching Fact-Check
https://www.westernjournal.com/author/russdavis/?ff_source=push&ff_medium=conservativetribune&ff_campaign=manualpost&ff_content=2018-06-10 When a CNN producer tried to mock the work undertaken by President Donald Trump at the recent G-7 summit, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was quick to put f**e news in its place.
On Saturday, Dan Scavino, an assistant to the president, tweeted out a photo of what he called ânegotiationsâ at the summit, The Daily Caller reported. The G-7, or Group of Seven, represents seven of the top global economies â the United States, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan.

This yearâs session was one in which leaders butted heads over trade, with Trump warning other nations not to take advantage of America on trade.
CNN producer Gene Hughes publicly threw shade on the image.

âPretty clever visual messaging here from the White House â taking some kind of group signing event and framing it instead to show President Trump seemingly holding court, with the rest of the G7 leaders clustered in around him,â Hughes tweeted.
Sanders did not let that pass.
âCongratulations! Once again you are wrong,â she tweeted.
âThere is no âsome kind of group signingâ taking place. It was all negotiations. We were there. You were not. @Scavino45 tweet is 100% factual. Will you retract your âcleverâ and completely inaccurate tweet?â she added.
In time, Hughes had to admit defeat, and deleted his comment.

Earlier today, I tweeted a photo of leaders at the G-7 and mistakenly referred to it as a signing event. The White House says the images were taken during negotiations between the leaders. I was incorrect, have removed the previous tweet, and apologize.

Trump posted a tweet of his own, saying the United States would not sign the post-summit communiqué, a comment that brought a round of antagonism from France and Germany, CNN reported.
