Donald Trump fired off a tweet that criticized CNN’s coverage of the Republican National Convention on Monday right after Never Trump forces were denied a vote on the convention floor.

Trump tweeted that CNN showed “their dumb-one-sided panels” instead of the speaker at the podium who was supportive of him being the party’s nominee.

“VAST MAJORITY want: Make America Great Again!” Trump said.

Here’s what Trump tweeted:
