"You are so bad, you know? You are the worst reporter. No wonder. CNN has no ratings because of people like you, the president said. You know, 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."
"I know we're meant to be inured to it but president savaging @kaitlancollins and saying she doesn't smile and calls her a liar while asking about Epstein's victims and he just goes on to other questions, and then whoever he calls on next pretends it didn't happen? wrote Pod Save America co-host Jon Lovett. Bunch of smiling politicians behind him, including Susan Collins. Never stops being f*cking gross."
President Donald Trump took questions in the Oval Office after signing legislation ending the partial government shutdown. When CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked about survivors frustrated by redactions in the DOJ's release of files relating to Jeffrey Epstein, the president shifted to personal attacks on Collins. He called her the worst reporter, said CNN has no ratings because of people like her, and remarked that he had never seen her smile in ten years. Immediate outrage followed from Democratic representatives and media figures who also criticized others in the room for not defending Collins, including visible smiling politicians such as Susan Collins.
