Spicer cites CNN poll on Trump speech despite ‘fake news’ feud

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday put aside his problems with CNN to tout the network’s poll on President Trump’s speech to Congress.

Spicer tweeted out CNN’s poll showing positive reactions to Trump’s speech the night before, despite the administration’s frequent attacks on the network as “fake news.”

In @cnn poll 78% of @POTUS #JointAddress watchers say positive, 69% say policies will move country in right direction, 69% more optimistic

Tuesday’s results found that more than 3 in 4 Americans reacted positively to Trump’s speech.

{mosads}Trump and his administration’s officials have repeatedly feuded with CNN, labeling it “fake news” over coverage they claim is biased and inaccurate.

CNN was among a number of news outlets blocked from attending Spicer’s question-and-answer session last week.

Spicer decided to hold an off-camera “gaggle” with journalists inside his West Wing office, also leaving out outlets like The New York Times, The Hill and BuzzFeed.

CNN responded by condemning its exclusion later last Friday, vowing it would continue holding Trump’s administration publicly accountable.

“This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House,” CNN said in a statement. “Apparently this is how they retaliate when you report facts they don’t like. We’ll keep reporting regardless.”
