Kayleigh McEnany appears in White House briefing room (Fox News/screen grab)
At Friday's White House briefing, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was called out by CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta, who asked why the president was sharing fake videos of toddlers and suggested that it made the Trump White House "fake news."
The exchange triggered uproar on social media, with many Trump supporters enraged — but other commenters mocking the press secretary.
