Kaitlan Collins Breaks Silence After Donald Trump Compares CNN Anchor to Trans Woman in Tense Exchange
Trump ridiculed CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins and called her award fake as CNN prepared a rebuttal before he finished speaking.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump used the rescheduled White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington to mock CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, dismissing her award as "fake" and criticizing her facial expressions.
- Collins had just accepted a WHCA Award for Excellence in Presidential News Coverage Under Deadline Pressure for her 2025 reporting on a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
- During the speech, Trump compared Collins to influencer Dylan Mulvaney, claiming the 2023 Bud Light campaign cost the company $35 billion in market cap; the remarks drew near silence from the audience.
- CNN defended Collins as an "exceptional, trusted journalist," while the reporter wrote on Instagram that the dinner's purpose included "reminding everyone why the First Amendment" matters.
- The scaled-back gathering drew about 700 guests and had been rescheduled from April after a gunman breached security outside the venue, forcing organizers to rush the president off stage.
