CNN’s Kaitlan Collins has responded to being on the receiving end of President Donald Trump’s insults at Friday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where he again berated her for “never smiling.”
In a preview clip from Monday night’s The Daily Show, Collins was asked about the dinner by host Jon Stewart, and the reporter took the high road.
“I’ve always felt this, regardless of who’s the president, whether it’s Joe Biden, Donald Trump,” she began. “It’s really not about me, and I don’t want it to be about my reaction. And so I think if you let it become about that, then it becomes a back and forth between the two of us.”
Collins explained that she felt it was “more effective” if viewers focus on the question she asked in moments when the president is insulting her or when he gets “angry.”
“I just think in those moments, it’s important to put the reminder back on the work, on the question, and on the non-answers that we get,” she said.
