Kaitlan Collins is speaking out about President Donald Trump’s attack on her at Friday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The CNN anchor sat down with Jon Stewart Monday to tape an interview for the Daily Show which will air in full at 11 p.m. ET Monday night. Status obtained an early transcript, and the Daily Show posted the interview on X. Collins told Stewart she was “not surprised” that Trump went after her.
“I’ve always felt this, regardless of who’s the president, whether it’s Joe Biden, Donald Trump — those are the two I’ve covered — it’s really not about me, and I don’t want it to be about my reaction,” Collins said. “And so I think if you let it become about that, then it becomes a back-and-forth between the two of us.”
During an hour-long speech at Friday’s dinner, Trump launched a shocking attack on Collins — comparing her to trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney and taking aim at an award she was given earlier in the evening for her coverage of the Trump White House.
“I want to personally congratulate CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award,” Trump said. “It was all about me. It was a fake, she shouldn’t get the award, it was a fake. But I didn’t mind. I said, ‘Kaitlan, congratulations.’ But it was fake, there’s no question about it.”
Though she sought to distance herself from the president’s attack, Collins did argue that Trump seemed perturbed at her award.
“I think it’s more effective to remind people in those moments when he is insulting me or when he is criticizing me about the question I asked, or the reporting that I did that he was so angry about in this moment, and the fact that I got an award for it that really bothered him clearly, and so I just think in those moments it’s important to put the reminder back on the work, on the question, and on the non-answers that we get,” she said.
