Dem governor turns table on CNN for not checking Trump’s lies in real time

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Friday took a shot at CNN for not doing more to counter the slew of falsehoods spouted by former President Donald Trump in real time.

During an interview with CNN's John Berman, Shapiro was asked repeatedly if he still had confidence in President Joe Biden after his widely criticized debate performance on Thursday night.

Shapiro acknowledged that Biden debated poorly but then expressed sympathy for Biden in debating a rival who lies so shamelessly and easily.

"Understand, it ain't easy debating a pathological liar, which is what Joe Biden had to do last night," Shapiro said. "Donald Trump lied about everything, from his record to the direction he wants to take people in this country. Hell, John, he even lied about saying Democrats want to kill babies after they're born. I mean, come on! It's nonsense!"

He then took CNN to task for letting Trump spout falsehoods without any sort of correction.

"Frankly, I think CNN could have done a better job of calling those lies out," he said.

Although fact checkers did perform a post-debate rundown and documented dozens of Trump falsehoods, none of that came through on air in real time.
