The Donald J. Trump for President campaign accused CNN of engaging in “censorship” and “epitomiz[ing] the meaning of fake news” Tuesday by refusing to air a Trump campaign ad on its network.

The ad, titled “First 100 Days,” began airing on networks across the country Monday. It touts President Donald Trump’s “bold actions” taken in his first 100 days “to restore prosperity, keep Americans safe and secure, and hold the government accountable.” In particular, the ad’s narrator noted, “you wouldn’t know” about the president’s accomplishments “from watching the news.”

“The mainstream media mislead, misguide, deceive, and distract. CNN epitomizes the meaning of fake news and has proven it by rejecting our paid campaign ad.”

“The mainstream media lies. Don’t let fake news dominate the truth,” the ad says. “President Trump promised to make America great again, and he is fulfilling his promise to you.”

CNN declined to air the ad, citing objections to the depiction of the “fake news” media.

“CNN requested the advertiser remove the false graphic that says mainstream media is ‘fake news,'” the network’s communications department tweeted Tuesday. “The mainstream media is not fake news, and therefore the ad is false. Per our policy, it will be accepted only if that graphic is deleted. Those are the facts.”

It’s no secret Trump does not hold CNN in particularly high esteem. During a campaign rally held Saturday in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the president singled out CNN, MSNBC, and The New York Times as “fake news” that cover him and his administration unfairly.

In response to CNN’s rejection of the ad, the Trump campaign blasted the network with a press release Tuesday titled, “Fake News Station Refuses to Run Ad Highlighting the President’s First 100 Days.” The statement noted that the campaign “was stopped by the mainstream media from running a new television ad on CNN.”

“It is absolutely shameful to see the media blocking the positive message that President Trump is trying to share with the country. It’s clear that CNN is trying to silence our voice and censor our free speech because it doesn’t fit their narrative,” Michael Glassner, the campaign’s executive director, said in the statement.

Later in the afternoon, the campaign issued a second statement in direct response to CNN’s tweet, titled, “CNN Epitomizes the Meaning of Fake News, Censors Trump Campaign Ad.”

“This is censorship, pure and simple. By rejecting our ad, CNN has proven that it supports censorship, is biased, and fears an opposing point of view,” Glassner said. “President Trump’s loyal supporters know the truth: The mainstream media mislead, misguide, deceive, and distract. CNN epitomizes the meaning of fake news and has proven it by rejecting our paid campaign ad.”
