NYT hit piece on Trump backfires horribly: Former girlfriend says paper misled her — Video

May 17, 2016

On Sunday, the reliably liberal New York Times published a hit piece against Donald Trump in an effort to advance Hillary Clinton’s “War on Women” theme, apparently using a former girlfriend to smear the presumptive GOP nominee.

But it seems their attempt backfired — horribly.

On Monday, Rowanne Brewer Lane, the former girlfriend in question, said the Gray Lady misled her and misrepresented her relationship with Trump as a “negative experience.

Here’s video of her comments:

Trump responded on Twitter:

That was an amazing interview on @foxandfriends – I hope the rest of the media picks it up to show how totally dishonest the @nytimes is!

Trending: Is ‘Beto’ O’Rourke really that naïve, or is he just stupid?

The @nytimes is so dishonest. Their hit piece cover story on me yesterday was just blown up by Rowanne Brewer, who said it was a lie!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 16, 2016

Wow, Rowanne Brewer, the most prominently depicted woman in the failing @nytimes story yesterday, was on @foxandfriends saying Times lied

With the coming forward today of the woman central to the failing @nytimes hit piece on me, we have exposed the article as a fraud!

Over 50 women were interviewed by the @nytimes yet they only wrote about 6. That’s because there were so many positive statements.

The Daily Wire added:

Shortly after the above-mentioned interview, left-wing CNN’s Brian Stelter said Donald Trump called into his network’s New Day control room in order to ensure that CNN staff had seen it.

Lane went on to do three more interviews on Monday morning, rejecting the innuendo of The New York Times article and its attempt to advance the leftist “War on Women” narrative for Hillary Clinton’s benefit.

Trump, CNN media analyst Dylan Byers said, essentially “reset” the narrative of the story:

Look at how media discussion changed between 6am (before interview) and 9am (after) and tell me he didn’t reset it. https://t.co/QxqIUg2zif

I suspect we’re going to see a lot more of this between now and November…
