CNN host John King in a tweet Tuesday expressed regret over discussing an unconfirmed report about former Vice President Joe Biden and the Iowa caucuses on-air, saying it was "in a word, stupid."
King, a veteran CNN anchor, sent out the tweet after the Biden campaign criticized a report discussed on-air that he was thinking about challenging the release Tuesday of the partial results of the Iowa caucuses.
After the Biden campaign firmly axed the rumor, King took to Twitter, tweeting, "Team Biden says talk it may challenge IA release plans 100% untrue."
"In the breaking news rush my discussing, even skeptically, incoming from rival campaigns was, in a word, stupid," King said in his tweet.
On a live broadcast, King said that he was receiving word from aides of other Democratic presidential candidates that the Biden campaign was considering filing an injunction to stop the partial release of the Iowa caucus results. The Iowa Democratic Party said earlier in the day that the 5 p.m. ET release of the results wouldn't be complete.

(10,130 posts)transgressions against Joe that are harming his candidacy and our primary.
Trump and slime like Lindsey Graham should be hammered for this Ukraine Burisma garbage.
If we sit on our hands and let them do this to a good man, we're all worse off for it.
I should be delighted that my favorite candidate, Pete, appears to have done very well given how he started a year ago. I'm proud of him but it rings a little hollow or tainted because the GOP have smeared a good man. This is so wrong.
