NRATV appeared to mock CNN and call the network a "bitter lemon" during the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting in Dallas.
Washington Post White House reporter Seung Min Kim shared a video, recording Friday, on Twitter that included the clip mocking CNN.
"This is a lemon. Its network colluded with a Democratic presidential candidate," the clip stated. "It's colleague gave debate questions to Hillary Clinton. Don't be fooled. This is not a journalist. This is a lemon, a bitter lemon."

The clip refers to the 2016 campaign when it was discovered former CNN contributor Donna Brazile relayed CNN debate questions to then candidate Hillary Clinton. Brazile later said she would "forever regret" her actions.
In October, a subsequent release of emails revealed that among the many things I did in my role as a Democratic operative and D.N.C. Vice Chair prior to assuming the interim D.N.C. Chair position was to share potential town hall topics with the Clinton campaign. I had been working behind the scenes to add more town hall events and debates to the primary calendar, and I helped ensure those events included diverse moderators and addressed topics vital to minority communities. My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good, and I worked closely with both campaigns to make that happen. But sending those emails was a mistake I will forever regret.
The video mocks CNN's "this is an apple"ad, part of its "#FactsFirst" campaign that was launched last fall.
