Donald Trump says CNN’s Kaitlan Collins has ‘hatred in her eyes’ during press interaction
President Donald Trump has once again attacked a reporter. He called out CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during the While House press briefing on Wednesday, June 3, after being asked about his decision to drop the anti-weaponization fund. In reply, Trump zeroed in on CNN, calling the network “crooked as hell” and “a very corrupt organization” before targeting Collins.
“… a corrupt reporter standing right there, never smiles,” he said about the reporter. “You never see a young, beautiful woman who never smiles. I never see a smile on her face. I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes.” Trump further claimed she has “hatred because we have borders, because we have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted, and then we win our election in a massive landslide” before pointing out that the reporter should be “very happy” with them for “saving” the country.
But that was not all. Minutes later, Trump again attacked the reporter after the topic returned to the “anti-weaponization” fund. He accused CNN and The New York Times of “abusing” Trump and his supporters. On hearing this, Collins tried to interject, but Trump told her to “be quiet.” He added, “You should be ashamed of yourself. She used to be a conservative from Alabama, can you believe it?”
However, in a statement to The Hill, a CNN spokesperson said that “Kaitlan Collins is 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,” they added.
