CNN's Kaitlan Collins Is Doing Her Level Best To Be As Obnoxious As Jim Acosta

Posted • February 21, 2025: After President Joe Biden was elected, CNN decided to pull the showboating Jim Acosta from the White House briefing room and give him his own show instead (which he left when he found out they were giving him the midnight time slot). Acosta was obnoxious in the press room, famously wrestling the microphone from a young woman so he could continue his rant. With the reelection of Donald Trump, CNN has moved Kaitlan Collins into the role of chief White House correspondent, and she's proving to be as obnoxious as Acosta. But the Trump administration is fighting back. Recently, Karoline Leavitt shut her down completely by saying that media organizations that lie (like the AP) are going to face accountability in this White House. Trump also shut her down at a signing event in the Oval Office recently, asking her not to interrupt him before he was done speaking. Here's a short clip that shows Collins trying to shout down other reporters.

OH SNAP! Karoline Leavitt just put CNN's Kaitlan Collins in her place. Collins got to ask two questions and still kept going, but Leavitt didn't have it. "You just had two questions." GOOD! Anybody remember the press pool behaving this way with the former administration? I would be perfectly fine with having zero press conferences. The majority of these activists don't deserve them. Kaitlan Collins is too big for her britches. Should just start removing CNN's press access.. Kaitlin Collins is so entitled it's pathetic. She's insufferable. Total partisan hack. She needs a good humbling, her seat should be given to someone with manners and she should get standing room only. When did anything like this take place during the Biden administration? Fox News' Peter Doocy was the only one to ask tough questions, and he was polite and waited his turn. (…)
