During an exchange with reporters at the White House this Thursday, President Trump went on a tirade against the media, calling them "human scum" for their coverage of the woes of his former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
"[Flynn] was targeted by the Obama administration and he was targeted in order to bring down a president," Trump said. "And what they've done is a disgrace and I hope a big price is gonna be paid."
Trump then slammed the media for being "complicit."
"The media is totally guilty. And all of those writers and so-called journalists -- they're not journalists, they're thieves -- all of those journalists that received a Pulitzer Prize should be forced to give them back."
