The Republican National Committee Tuesday slammed CNN's reported banning of President Donald Trump's "100 days" ad as "incredibly troubling" in light of its commitment to the First Amendment.
"The network's clearly biased decision to block President Trump's message to the American people is incredibly troubling," said RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel.
"Freedom of speech is a hallmark of our nation's founding, and it is concerning that CNN, who I assume to be a strong supporter of the First Amendment, would stifle speech that they disagree with."
Trump campaign Executive Director Michael Glassner ripped CNN as "fake news" for refusing to carry a 30-second spot celebrating the president's accomplishments during the period.
"It's clear that CNN is trying to silence our voice and censor our free speech because it doesn't fit their narrative," Glassner said in a statement.
McDaniel called on CNN to "allow the ad to be aired and apologize for their attempt to block the president's message."
