Donald Trump says the media are not doing a good job of covering his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, lashing out at them during a Monday rally in Atkinson, N.H.,
The Hill reports.
"The press has a lower approval rating than Congress," Trump told they crowd. "They’re scum. They're horrible people. They are so illegitimate. They are just terrible people."
Trump immediately backtracked a bit, sounding a little like his June announcement speech where he railed against Mexico sending it's criminal element into the United States before adding, "some, I assume, are good people."
Likewise, Trump said Monday, "Some of the people in the press are honorable. But you've got 50 percent who are terrible people."
