President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning issued an angry tweet attacking the news media for reporting on large protests that greeted him in Pittsburgh when he went to attend a memorial for eleven Jews who were killed by a white nationalist over the weekend.
"Melania and I were treated very nicely yesterday in Pittsburgh," the president wrote. "The Office of the President was shown great respect on a very sad & solemn day. We were treated so warmly. Small protest was not seen by us, staged far away. The Fake News stories were just the opposite-Disgraceful!"
In fact, hundreds of Pittsburgh residents organized to protest against the president's visit to the Tree of Life Synagogue on Tuesday, where they marched just a block away from the synagogue's location.
What's more, CNN reported that Trump's motorcade had to be redirected in a different direction from its initial planned route due to the size of the protests.
