White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany blasted CNN as “a sad parody of a news network” after it ran a graphic saying President Trump is participating in a “desperate coup attempt.”

CNN’s coverage of pro-Trump protests on Wednesday ahead of the president’s expected speech at a demonstration included a chyron that read: “Soon: Trump to speak to supporters in desperate coup attempt.”

McEnany pounced on the network, saying the language was “unsurprisingly OUTRAGEOUS.”

“Apparently abiding by a constitutional process that Democrats themselves have used is now considered a ‘COUP’ by the Fake News activists!” she posted. “CNN has become a sad parody of a news network.”

Representatives from CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump plans to speak at a demonstration  in support of an effort by some Republicans to challenge the certification of the Electoral College results affirming President-elect Joe Biden’s win. That effort is widely expected to be unsuccessful.
