President Donald Trump must stop relying on morning cable TV news show for his sources, Sen. Chris Coons said Monday.
"There does seem to be a disturbing pattern where his 6 a.m. tweets, or his more alarming and outrageous tweets, are based solely on cable news sources, and on not-well sourced cable news reporting," the Delaware Democrat told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program.
"That's partly what's concerning," he added. "It's important that he focus on reliable sources of information, not those that feed into a more conspiratorial or ungrounded (themes)."
On Friday, Trump repeated the claim during a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel that former President Barack Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower.
"There are forehead scratching moments, and there are forehead slapping moments with this president," Coons said of Trump.
