certainly that s what i outlined in the book. not exactly an answer there. john avlon joins me now, the host of the new cnn digital series reality check extremist beat. i hate to accuse him of possibly parsing words there, but, i mean, what they re trying to say, he had a test, but that one was false an he did get sick aefr several days later but the first test was wrong. is that the basic argument here? i guess. i think it is actually a mistake to try to parse it too closely. the headline here is that mark meadows, former chief of staff of the president, is calling his own book fake news because it came in front of in front of a wind shear from donald trump s criticism. even the chief of staff, in a culture and administration like that is a boot-licki ing todayyt the end of the day. it is pathetic.
