"Jon Stewart and his team singled out CNN chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins as the one reporter who can truly throw President Donald Trump off balance, describing her as the only one they aren't quite sure what to do with. Speaking on his The Weekly Show podcast, the comedian was asked whether journalists should ever return fire when Trump hurls insults during press interactions. Oooh, like a rap battle? Stewart quipped, before musing that political exchanges increasingly resemble staged confrontations."
"I actually think she's the only one they aren't quite sure what to do with, because she's always just matter-of-fact like, 'Because you did say two and a half weeks ago, and I think I've got the quote right here.' Mocking the reaction from Trump's allies, Stewart added: 'They're all like, What are you doing, homework? Why are you trying to make us all look bad? Is this witchcraft?'"
Jon Stewart praised CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins as uniquely able to unsettle President Donald Trump through direct, fact-based questioning. Stewart observed that political exchanges increasingly resemble staged confrontations and referenced Pam Bondi's combative Senate hearing style as indicative of modern political theater. Collins frequently attends White House press events and habitually cites prior statements and exact quotes when pressing officials. Stewart and producer Brittany Mehmedovic noted that Collins' practice of collecting facts and presenting them live confounds Trump's allies, who react as if the factual recall is unexpected or unacceptable. The remarks were made on The Weekly Show podcast.
