Kaitlan Collins Is Not “Nasty”; She’s Just Doing Her Job
The New Yorker Radio Hour About this episode
<p>Kaitlan Collins was only a couple years out of college when she became a White House correspondent for Tucker Carlson’s the Daily Caller. Collins stayed in the White House when she went over to CNN during Donald Trump’s first term, and she returned for his second. Trump has made his disdain for CNN clear—and he’s not a big fan of Collins, either. At one point during Trump’s first term, she was barred from a press conference; he called her a “nasty person” during a Presidential campaign interview. There’s never been a White House so overtly hostile to the press than the second Trump Administration, <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/trumps-putinization-of-america">penalizing news organizations</a> for not conforming to the President’s wishes. But, as Collins tells the staff writer <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/clare-malone">Clare Malone</a>, she believes that Trump is “someone who seeks the validation of the press as much as he criticizes them publicly. And so, you know, it doesn’t really bother me when he gets upset at my question.”</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
