This isn’t the first time we’ve said how much we admire CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and it won’t be the last.
It was the CNN White House correspondent, you’ll probably already know by now, who so riled Donald Trump by daring to ask a question he didn’t want to answer.

Why don’t her fellow White House correspondents stand up for her? Why do reporters as a group tolerate these Trump attacks on their own members, especially female members? What happened to solidarity? https://t.co/dDcG1nNVuM
