President Donald Trump called ABC “very deceptive” in response to a reporters question on Wednesday, noting the network took down a video it claimed was from the Syrian border but was actually from a Kentucky gun range.

ABC reporter Jon Karl asked Trump at a press conference at the White House: “You dont have any regret for giving [Turkish President] Erdogan the green light to invade?”

“I didnt give him a green light. … When you make a statement like that, its so deceptive. Just the opposite of a green light.”

Trump defended withdrawing American troops from Syria before slamming ABC for its major error.

“When you ask a question like that, thats very deceptive, Jon. Its almost as deceptive as you showing all of the bombings taking place in Syria and it turned out that the bombing that you showed on television took place in Kentucky.

Karl did not respond to Trump about his networks error. Karl has not shared information about the error on his Twitter feed.
