"You are so bad, you know? Trump replied. You are the worst reporter. No wonder. CNN has no ratings because of people like you. 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."
"He was talking to Kaitlan Collins, who's the CNN anchor, Vance said on The Megyn Kelly Show. And I have like a decent relationship with Kaitlan Collins, which is unusual, given that she's from CNN. But she's asking a question, the president says, Why don't you ever smile?' And it's actually, like, so perceptive. Even if you're asking a tough question, even if you take your job very seriously, like, why does it always have to be so antagonistic?"
"Well, I laugh because I saw online, everybody was calling him sexist' for saying that, Kelly said. And I literally said the same thing about Kaitlan Collins a year ago on my show. She never smiles! Every once in a while, you have to smile. Roger Ailes used to tell us that."
Kaitlan Collins asked President Trump about Justice Department redactions of Jeffrey Epstein files and what he would say to survivors. Trump responded by criticizing Collins personally, calling her "the worst reporter," saying CNN has no ratings and noting he has "never seen you smile." J.D. Vance endorsed the president's remark, calling the "Why don't you ever smile?" question perceptive and urging less antagonism during tough exchanges. Megyn Kelly defended the comment, saying she had previously noted Collins seldom smiles and citing Roger Ailes's advice that anchors should smile.
