Trump Attacks Reporter, Calls Her “Stupid” After Correction
During a media conference at Mar-a-Lago, former President Trump responded to a question about the D.C. shooting suspect by calling the female reporter “stupid” multiple times. The exchange occurred after the reporter questioned Trump’s assertions about the suspect’s vetting process, citing a report that indicated thorough vetting by the DHS and FBI. Trump blamed the Biden administration for allowing the suspect into the country, despite reports that the suspect was granted asylum during Trump’s administration. This incident follows a pattern of Trump’s disparaging remarks towards female reporters, including insults about their appearance and intelligence.
