Trump berates Kaitlan Collins during White House Correspondents' Association dinner

Trump targeted CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins during a speech at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. This follows previous instances where he criticized her professional demeanor and labeled her the network's worst reporter. During an appearance on The Daily Show, Collins discussed the atmosphere in the room during the remarks. The tension between the administration and the press corps has drawn criticism from political figures. Former Ambassador Rahm Emanuel called for an apology following the dinner. Earlier this year, Trump scolded Collins for not smiling during a news conference about his administration.
