He then made a \u201cjoke\u201d about a Bud Light sponsorship that was really an anti-trans slur and sank faster than a stone.<\/p>\n<p>Collins posted about the eventful evening on Instagram Saturday afternoon, sharing a carousel of images to her main page. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second best part of last night\u2019s White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner was receiving an award from my friend and mentor, @wolfblitzer,\u201c she captioned the post. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first was reminding everyone why the First Amendment\u2014and asking uncomfortable questions that people in power don\u2019t like\u2014matters,&#8221; she continued, in an apparent nod to Trump\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the caption, she posted two photos of her and Blitzer, a video of Blitzer announcing her award, a statement from CNN management expressing support of her and other CNN journalists targeted by Trump, and the Roosevelt quote.<\/p>\n<p>The sentiment echoed one of Trump\u2019s other favorite targets\u2014former first lady Michelle Obama\u2014who famously said at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, while speaking about Trump, \u201cWhen they go low, we go high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4267\">Cause of Death Revealed in Child Star\u2019s Tragic Accident<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s remarks, early in his lengthy speech, began with him calling Collins\u2019 award into question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to personally congratulate CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award. It was all about me. It was a fake, she shouldn\u2019t get the award, it was a fake. But I didn\u2019t mind. I said, \u2018Kaitlan, congratulations.\u2019 But it was fake, there\u2019s no question about it,\u201d Trump ranted.<\/p>\n<p>But he wasn\u2019t done yet. The octogenarian continued by telling the audience, largely comprised of Collins\u2019 peers, that she is \u201ca young, attractive woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then revisited a comment he has made several times before: \u201cShe never smiles. I said, \u2018Kaitlan do you ever smile? Smile!\u2019 You have a nice position; you\u2019re at CNN fake news. You should be a happy person. So smile, Kaitlan! Just smile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s next comments implied he had once confused Collins with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who appeared in a controversial ad for Bud Light in 2023. The president\u2019s seeming attempt at humor prompted immediate backlash.<\/p>\n<p>The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Within just a couple of hours, Collins\u2019 post had been liked more than 100,000 times and had garnered more than 4,000 comments, the overwhelming majority in support of the journalist.<\/p>\n<p>Comedian Chelsea Handler commented: \u201cNational treasure you are!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musician Gracie Abrams called Collins \u201ca legend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others pointed out that Collins might be getting used to being singled out by the president, as she\u2019s often in his firing line. <\/p>\n<p>Collins has said before that she believes she draws the president\u2019s ire because he doesn\u2019t like her questions. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>CNN\u2019s statement after the speech said the network stood by Collins \u201cto the fullest extent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4265\">Scientists Stunned by Orcas Making Prey Explode<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaitlan Collins appeared to brush off Donald Trump\u2019s latest attack with a message from Eleanor Roosevelt.
