[See NewsBusters for more.] On Monday's CNN Newsroom, John King and John Harwood teamed up to call President Trump's accusation that the reason why Democratic governors being slow in re-opening their states is to hurt him politically, "preposterous" and "pretty shameful." 

King found it remarkable that Trump would tweet these thoughts at the same time as certain administration officials go into self-quarantine, "the president in a way ignoring the issues in his own house, if you will, tweeting this morning about the reopening pace."
