thesouthafrican.comPresident Trump ended a Sunday interview on Meet the Press after the host pressed him on statements about election fraud, California's vote count, and a proposed anti-weaponization fund. A CNN panel the following night examined the interview and prior exchanges between the president and female journalists.
One panelist said the president consistently berates and insults women journalists, citing recent examples involving Kristen Welker and Kaitlan Collins. A second panelist responded that the president treats journalists equally regardless of gender and that both sides gain from combative exchanges.
The same panelist added that the president's supporters respond positively to such exchanges and that several journalists have built careers on confrontational coverage.
A White House spokeswoman told Fox News Digital that the president has never been politically correct and that the American people re-elected him in part for his transparency. The spokeswoman said the exchanges have nothing to do with gender and reflect low public trust in the media.
