Trump Snaps at CBS Reporter: “Are You a Stupid Person?” on Thanksgiving
During a Thanksgiving press conference, former President Donald Trump confronted CBS News reporter Nancy Cordes after she questioned his claims about an Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guard members. Trump, who said the suspect was among unvetted Afghan nationals admitted to the U.S. by the Biden administration, was challenged by Cordes about the suspect’s thorough vetting. In response, Trump insulted Cordes, asking if she was “stupid,” which added to a pattern of lashing out at female journalists. The attacks have been defended by the White House, with officials attributing Trump’s remarks to his “frankness” and the public’s distrust of the media.
