In a meandering series of tweets on Sunday evening, President Trump pounced on his favorite cable news channel’s weekend lineup of hosts, hitting the network for being “worse” than CNN and “Lyin’ Brian Williams” at NBC.

The President also hit the network for hiring Democrat and former CNN contributor Donna Brazile, who was fired from CNN after the WikiLeaks Hillary Clinton email dump showed she shared debate questions with Clinton’s team ahead of a 2016 debate.
