BuzzFeed’s bombshell report has riled up a Twitter war between Donald Trump Jr and CNN reporter Jake Tapper. 

‘Maybe the left will one day stop trying desperately to destroy my family and especially @realDonaldTrump. Till then they will keep failing miserably while also undermining themselves and our democracy,’ the president’s 41-year-old son tweeted on Saturday. 

Don Jr mercilessly attacked news outlets sharing the controversial BuzzFeed piece that alleges Trump directed his personal lawyer Michael Cohen to lie about dealings with Russia before Congress on Twitter.

Tapper defended his network

Donald Trump Jr, 41, and Jake Tapper, 49, got into a Twitter war Friday night after CNN covered BuzzFeed’s bombshell report that alleged President Donald Trump forced his lawyer to lie before Congress about deals with Russia 

Retract it! Don Jr demanded CNN retract the story and devote time to clearing the air about the BuzzFeed report he deemed '#fakenews'

On Friday he hit out at CNN for reporting on the piece, which Robert Mueller’s office dismissed as ‘inaccurate’ Friday night. 

‘I ask is that CNN gives equal time to the retraction…. (um obliteration you got hit with from Special Counsels Office) that you gave to the #fakenews part of the story you all so desperately wanted to be true. Seems fair, right?’ he tweeted.  

Tapper, the Chief Washington Correspondent for CNN, defended CNN’s report on the controversial article saying they expressed skepticism over the piece and didn’t take it as truth.

Twitter war: The two went back and forth with Don Jr accusing Tapper of leading fake news and Tapper saying its the media's job to cover the president, the White House and Congressional leaders

‘And this right here is exactly what’s wrong with CNN and the rest of the #FakeNews media. If you’re skeptical about the accuracy of a story, how about NOT giving it non-stop, wall to wall coverage on your network? You just can’t help yourselves!!!’ Don Jr wrote. 

Tapper clapped back explaining it is simply the role of news to cover what’s happening in politics, controversial or not. 

‘Your father, the White House and congressional leaders were talking about it and reacting to it so of course we covered it,’ Tapper wrote.  

Don Jr fired back saying 'you'd be more credible if CNN's two biggest bombshells about me had any merit at all'

‘Given the many lies you told the American people about the meeting at Trump Tower I don’t really care to be lectured about anything by you,’ he added. 

The duo continued to fire back their rebuttals with Don Jr pointing past flawed CNN reporting. 

‘You’d be much more credible if CNN’s two biggest bombshells about me had any merit at all. Your network ran with them with glee but they were both total cr**!’ Don Jr said. 

‘1) The date of my @wikileaks info receipt  2) Lanny Davis admitting he was your source & was wrong (still not corrected)’ he added.
