(CNSNews.com) – White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Friday that a video President Donald Trump tweeted showing a black toddler at first running away from a white toddler was a satirical attempt to call out CNN for "regularly" taking the president out of context.

The video, which was titled "Terrified toddler runs away from racist baby," continues making it clear that the toddlers hugged each other first before the toddlers run away with the white toddler running behind the black toddler. Twitter labeled the president's tweet as "manipulated media."

According to Twitter, "You may not deceptively promote synthetic or manipulated media that are likely to cause harm. In addition, we may label Tweets containing synthetic and manipulated media to help people understand their authenticity and to provide additional context."

At Friday's White House press briefing, CNN's Jim Acosta questioned McEnany on why the president shared the video and accused Trump of "exploiting children to make some sort of crass political point."

ACOSTA: Last night the president tweeted out some fake videos, one of which was labeled manipulated media by Twitter. Why is the president sharing fake videos on Twitter about two toddlers who are obviously showing a lot of love for one another? It seems as though he is exploiting children to make some sort of crass political point. Why was he sharing fake videos?" Acosta asked.

MCENANY: He was making a point about CNN specifically. He was making a point that CNN has regularly taken him out of context, that in 2019, CNN aired a clip from one viewpoint repeatedly to falsely accuse the Covington boys of being 'students in MAGA gear harassing a Native American elder.' That's a harassing video, a misleading video about children that had really grave consequences for their future," McEnany said.

ACOSTA: So you're saying it is okay to exploit two toddlers hugging one another on a sidewalk to make some sort of political point. As you know, the president has described the members of the press as fake news during the course of this administration. When you share a fake videos like that, doesn't that make you fake news?

MCENANY: I think the president was making satirical point that was quite funny if you go and actually watch the video. I think he was making a-- the point is that it was a play on CNN repeatedly taking the president out of context like the time when you guys had a chyron that read: 'Trump slams some illegal immigrants: They're animals.' Well guess what? The people he called animals were MS-3 illegal immigrants who regularly mutilate people in this country. Those things are entirely misleading--

ACOSTA: The president has referred to some Mexican immigrants as rapists. He tried to pass a Muslim ban in this country. He has described black NFL players as sons of bitches if they take a knee at a football game.

MCENANY: That's an absurd attempt to justify the misleading headlines that are regularly on your network, like I was just walking in watching CNN as they lauded the 'rallies in the streets.' You got to let me finish, Jim. This isn't a cable news segment. I am answering your question right now from the White House podium. When I walk out here, Jim, and I see on your network celebratory headlines about the rallies in the protests outside, and you actually said protests and rallies. So in light of the protest. If these gatherings happen in light of a protest or a rally as you say, that rally is to be condoned, but not the president's rally.

It's appalling. You have one person on your network saying this is a celebration in the streets, a carnival like atmosphere. There is a guy with a sign that says free hugs. It's beautiful what's happening in the streets. There is music. People are hugging. You celebrate hugging in the context of a protest, but in a Trump rally where we celebrate historical African American unemployment, criminal justice reform, HBCUs, that rally's not allowed because guess what, Jim? It doesn't fit the ideological agenda of CNN.
