Vice President JD Vance supported Donald Trump’s criticism of CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, who asked the president about Epstein’s victims who “feel they did not get justice” after the release of the files.
Collins was called “the worst reporter” by the Republican on Tuesday (3) during a press conference in the White House’s Oval Office.
“It’s no wonder… CNN has no audience 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,” he said.
JD Vance praised the president’s comment in an interview with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday (4).
“Even when you’re asking a tough question, even when you take your job very seriously, why does it always have to be so antagonistic?” he told the host.
“You can’t always take yourself so seriously. You’re going to have a heart attack, and that’s too much for much of the Washington press,” he warned. Kaitlan Collins was speaking about Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse victims.
JD Vance attempted to justify the president’s response, saying that Washington is a “phony place” and that Trump always says what he thinks and “doesn’t care about anyone’s reaction.”
Donald Trump’s name appears 1,476 times in the millions of files released by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the Epstein case.
