Of course he has to say that because 45 was throwing a tantrum.
Just like Tillerson had to come out and make a hostage video after it came out that he called the president a moron ( which BTW he didn't really deny).
This administration started with FAKE News on day one when Spicer came out and lied about the size of the crowd at the inauguration.
And don't forget that for over five years 45 said that President Obama was not born in this country.
So he is the last person who should be whining about FAKE News.
He's the King of FAKE News.
