As we told you earlier, President Trump and VP Mike Pence hosted a very special guest at the White House today:
'Great day for America'! Trump hosts Conan, the hero dog who chased down al-Baghdadi, to the WH (and warns press not to open their mouths) [pics, video] https://t.co/sZFzfsIiZy

It was a nice moment, but that doesn’t mean the media firefighters dropped their guard for one second. Here’s CNN’s Kate Bennett noticing a discrepancy between what Trump said about Conan the dog vs. his behavior near Mike Pence:
. @realDonaldTrump talked about what a dangerous and vicious dog Conan was while @VP simultaneously petted it and put his hand near his mouth. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/xCVOs9sXiV

That’s… not very hard to explain, is it?
He's a trained dog wtf. https://t.co/C02Dz1SQdQ

Well, there’s that!
Kate is desperately trying to dunk on Trump while not realizing working dogs are not rabid dogs. https://t.co/7JP1JA4guA

I mean they're trained military dogs, they can be very dangerous and effective when deployed against an enemy, and kind and generous to everyone else. Kind of like human beings? https://t.co/kNwR8bye2r

There it is!
Did you confirm with .@Acosta if there’s really a dog there? #FactCheck

Maybe somebody on CNN will bring that topic up for discussion later.
