Embattled Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz slammed CNN’s false report and demanded a retraction. Over the weekend, CNN reported that Rep. Gaetz has requested and subsequently denied a meeting with former president Trump. However, Gaetz says he was never denied the meeting because he never requested one in the first place.

Fox News reports:

“This is a total lie. I am on a pre-planned vacation with my fiancée. I was welcomed at Trump Doral days ago. No such meeting was denied nor sought,” he tweeted. He called out the article’s “unnamed sources” and asked the network when he could expect a retraction.

The CNN report cited “two people familiar with the matter” who said aides of the former president denied a request from Gaetz and urged Trump to avoid getting involved in the scandal. The report included a statement from a Gaetz spokesman denying the congressman requested a meeting this past week.

Jason Miller, a close aide to Trump, called the CNN report “complete fake news.”

“No such scheduling or meeting request was ever made, and therefore, it could never have been declined. Take note that this story has zero on-the-record sources. It’s literally made-up,” he added.

Gaetz has harshly denied the accusations of sexual misconduct and sex trafficking after reports leaked that the Republican has been under investigation by the DOJ. Recently, reports emerged that Gaetz previously sought a preemptive pardon from Trump however both men have refuted the claim.



        1. Good for you. I regret I ever wasted even one second on that garbage station. Now I mostly watch Newsmax they do not have any rotten disgusting liberals on. They only host that has a mix of dems and republicans on is the the Mark Halperin focus group and I watch that. It shows how stupid and uninformed and brainwashed these democrat have. Check it out it is so funny to see these none skulls. The only gloo democrat is a dead democrat. period.

    1. Is sad that many people “still” believe what CNN say. Even is a lie, is enough to see one time, who watched, believed, and stay with that false information……is a way to brainwash. People who watch CNN, doesn’t watch Fox News or Newsmax or OAN….

      1. very ntruw but there are many good josts on Fox sadly they also have many insane liberals on that drive me mad. Juan Williams, Geraldo, Jessica Tarlov. Donna Brazile, Chris Wallace, Marie Harp and a few others drive me nuts and I turn the station when I see these fools.I have written to FOX and asked for years to get rid of them because if I want to hear their crap I could turn on CNN which is hate and will never do. Having the traitor and biggest crook in the white house and his criminal administration is bad enough and will destroy our country. Biden should be in prison.

  1. Why would they even consider cnn a news source? It’s a propaganda rag sheet that happens to afford air time. That’s all..

  2. Typical “Commie News Network” donkey s***! “sources”: WHO? If they can’t tell me who, then STFU!

  3. Ten years ago I quit watching CNN now even less since it became the homo lier chanel ie.Don Lemon, Anderson, Rachel, etc. CNN SUCKS!

  4. Communist News Network aka CNN, their “slogan” should be, “we author news to suit our narrative and never let truth get in our way, just read it and believe”.
    NOTE: MSM is guilty of attempting to bring lies, injustice and communism to every home in America!

    1. Read where they get their talking points from a biggie in DC! Most do get their so called news from sources in DC! They are called in AM or night before to tell them what to talk about! Most heads are related in some way to the talking heads in DC! They are told the subject and push it any way BUT the subject must stay the same! Someone yrs ago printed a list of who was related to who in DC! These are not reporters, just talking puppets!

  5. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
    FROM C N N
    THE COMMUNEST
    NEWS NETWORK
    THE CLINTON NEWS NETWORK
    THE TRUTH !!!!
    HA
    THATS NEVER GOING YO HAPPEN

  6. CNN is a joke and should be treated as the crazy relative that stays too long. Time to open the door and kick their rear to the street here they belong.

  7. If Gaetz is guilty, he should be prosecuted. If not, CNN should pay colossal damages. This represents a strategy that created Red Flag laws now capable of disarming peaceable, lawful owners. Gaetz now is being persecuted by unproven rumors just as lawful arms owners are. Accusations that cannot stand up under judicial scrutiny should not be aired. Leakers, e.g., CNN, should be stripped of their broadcast privileges.

  8. Notice how the embaddled governors of NY and CA are practically off the news?
    Poof, went away over night.
    CNN needs to be off the air completely.

  9. Are these journalists attending the How to Lie University or the Democratic University for Journalism?

  10. Victims of these “Journalistic Slanders” should sue the editor that released the blatant lie. The 1st Amendment… does NOT INCLUDE making up $hit as you please!

  11. Can’t Gaetz sue CNN for libel or defamation of character or SOMETHING ! There must be some way to get rid of these “media” liars! BOYCOTT whatever products they advertise. The Only way to get rid of them is to hit them in the pocketbook.

  12. TIME TO TAKE C N N AND ITS ” ZOMBIE MOUTH PIECES” OF FALSE RANTS TO COURT FOR ENOUGH MONEY REQUESTED TO CLOSE THERE SLIME PIT DOWN FOR GOOD!

  13. When will we find some Republicans take organizations like CNN to court for all of their lies, or just a few of their lies. They seem to be able to spin a new lie a minute, but never get charged, Why?

  14. CNN news always comes from sources that can’t be identified because THEY DON’T EXIST.
    Folks IT’S FAKE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. CNN newscasters are controlled by a member of the disturbed billionaire club.
    It is time the idiot Republicans drafted a Law that states that any American company that signs a contract binding them to a foreign government, must withdraw from such a contract or be fined 10 Billion dollars per year that the company agrees to such a contract.
    As an American, I am tired of do nothing Republicans. Talk was cheap but today, we pay a high price for just talk.

  16. This is precisely why liberal media stations lose viewers, they aren’t honest, they are only propaganda outlets promoting socialism and liberalism.
