White House Attacks CNN Reporter | Wilmington News

The White House launched a furious attack on CNN’s Kristen Holmes after she pressed President Trump on his harsh remarks about Senator Jon Ossoff, calling him “Pee-wee Herman.” The White House labeled her question “disgusting and inhumane,” even suggesting her kids would be ashamed — a move CNN swiftly rejected, defending Holmes as a respected journalist doing her job for the American people. The confrontation escalated in the Oval Office when Trump, flanked by a heroic teen lifeguard, called Holmes “disrespectful” and “fake news,” telling her to shut up — all while ignoring the gravity of the moment. CNN stood firm, rejecting personal attacks on journalists and calling out the White House for undermining press freedom. The White House offered no further comment, leaving tensions high in this explosive media showdown. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
