Banned CNN reporter questions Donald Trump

The CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins was excluded by the White House from a press event after asking Donald Trump about Vladimir Putin’s postponed visit and the Michael Cohen tapes. The ban sparked an outcry from CNN's traditional rival, Fox News and the White House Correspondents Association, which called the decision “wrong-headed, and weak”

that reporters is so deserved it....she got on my nerves just listening to her - she was just wanting to create chaos....I am glad she was banned - she deserved it!!!!

[mikeyerke]

She got kicked out for being annoying. Lol

Guess the question is, does any president have the right to bar an individual reporter if they feel that reporter is being disrespectful or disruptive? I feel they do have that right toward a disruptive individual but maybe not toward the media company they work for. From what I saw and read, other CNN correspondents were allowed at the Rose Garden shin-dig, just not this individual who seemed to be so off topic for the event they had crossed the line from journalism to activism.

After further review, the penalty on the field stands. Loss of 15 yards, repeat third down.

Kicking out a journalist is NOT in violation of the constitutions 1st amendment!
Banning the press would be, wise up!

If this reporter had any class, maybe she would not have been asked to leave. Is she dating
Jim Acosta?

There is no good or acceptable excuse for this. It’s a matter of time.

Those weren't really questions, more like statements with a question mark thrown in. You really think Trump is going to answer questions like "did Michael Cohen betray you ... are you worried?!" in a setting like that? No, so why waste valuable time? If you're a good reported, I think you'd find a craftier way to get your subject to actually respond in a revealing way. I'm not a Trump fan and I don't think we should let his methods drag everyone down including the press. This just seemed like just an attempt to embarrass him.

There's a place and a time for certain things her questions were not for that time that's why she got banned for being like a mosquito in your car get the hell out this is not the time of place for those questions

[steakwilliams]

It was at the end of the conference and it was unrelated to the subject matter. Not really sure it's worthy of a ban but it sure is disruptive. And they're being told to leave, while not leaving

[andrewinman]

It's a noisy room. He can't answer everyone.

[scrumtrellecent]

a bigot bans a bigot...too much for my brain to analyze..

[TheShivang]

Because Putin was drinking vodka... Got your answer

[nballa]

1 liberal elitist down many more to go.

[alexlopez-tpqo]

Its gonna be a lot more important than any of us can imagine. Trust me on that. Her question and the answers that lay in truth of his actions. This guy is a trickster

[johndoogan]

Isn't caitlin Collins from CNN wonderful. I could listen to her for eternity. She is such an outstanding reporter. I have to hand it to CNN, they do have the best reporters of any channel on TV, male and female.

[MrKeyboardCommando]

Looks to me like Trump is running scared‼️

[carmelitagood]

All reporters need to stand up to Trump. Reporters are our only hope in saving democracy.

[bltlife]

As childish as Donny can be, his supporters are still worse.

[allosaurusfragilis]

Would trump supporters rather just live in a trump/fox world? Only being told positive things about their favourite president? I think we all know the answer to that question. Do we have to remind them what america is all about, what it stands for? It seems the freedoms they have enjoyed and grown up with have been taken for granted and not appreciated.. By the time tyranny arrives, its too late, im afraid. Trump would take the USA straight to tyranny if he could. The free press is one of the only things stopping him.

While I feel the reporters need to stay on topic when foreign dignitaries are there, out of respect for them and their time, I don't feel she should have been banned. CNN tends to gravitate towards sex and "scandals" that turn out to be false anyway. I don't think foreign leaders want to spend their time hearing about "he said she saids". But again, don't feel the banning was right.
