CNN and Kaitlan Collins have virtually never been on President Donald Trump’s nice list. That was clear during a Tuesday press conference.
As Collins began to ask Trump a question about survivors of those trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, the President lashed out at the CNN Chief White House Correspondent.
“You are so bad, you know?” said Trump. “You are the worst reporter. No wonder CNN has no ratings. Because of people like you. She’s a young woman. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile. I’ve known you for 10 years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smile on your face.”
In a statement following the incident, CNN called Kaitlan Collins “an exceptional journalist, reporting every day from the White House and the field with real depth and tenacity. She skillfully brings that reporting to the anchor chair and CNN platforms every day, which audiences around the world know they can trust.”
Following the situation, Collins remained largely mum on the topic. However, many took to social media to chastise him for his handling of the incident, lambasting his reaction.
