White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates swiftly rejected their criticisms and fired back by using articles from their respective outlets against them.

"It's no more ‘political’ than this accurate and timely reporting from CNN," Bates told Zeleny before sharing CNN headlines like "Jake Tapper breaks down GOP threats to democracy" and "An Arizona Trump rally and voting rights march underscore the fight for democracy."

Bates lifted three Reuters headlines in response to Mason; "Reuters unmasks Trump supporters who terrified U.S. election officials," "Campaign of Fear: The Trump world’s assault on U.S. election workers" and "World shocked by Trump supporters' attack on U.S. democracy."
