From the NY Post article:
Meghan McCain is calling for CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins to have her press credentials revoked, calling her an “absolute imbecile” and a “pure partisan hack” following a tense exchange during a White House press briefing.
McCain’s criticism comes after Collins clashed with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday.
“Kaitlan Collins is an absolute imbecile and a pure partisan hack,” the podcast host and conservative commentator wrote on her X account on Wednesday.“Have some respect for the two women standing in front of you who are exposing lies, deep corruption and keeping the country safe. The White House should pull her credentials.”
Harold__Finch (@HaroldWren22) ~ It is a VERY *rare* thing that I find common ground with & agree with Meghan McCain. But, she is absolutely on target & right on the mark here. Strip CNN’s Kaitlin Collins of her press credentials & all access to the White House & official events of any kind. Ghost her.
There has to be some decorum and Kaitlan has lost all sense of how to conduct herself.
All she is doing is preening. She is probably hoping for another book deal like her buddy Tapper received.
Her credibility went out the window long ago.
🔥Fire Newz (@FireNewz) ~ I can’t speak for everybody, but I love watching Kaitlan Collins crumble like a dead cockroach on live TV.
Yes, when Karoline dismantles her, it is quite entertaining.
