Trump, White House blast reporter Kristen Holmes over Jon Ossoff question; CNN condemns ‘personal attacks’
CNN put out a statement slamming the White House after President Donald Trump’s rapid response team blasted White House correspondent Kristen Holmes.
President Donald Trump's rapid response team targeted White House correspondent Kristen Holmes on social media after she questioned him about Sen. Jon Ossoff's comment regarding the president's priorities. Trump referred to Holmes as "Pee-wee Herman" during a press event, and the Rapid Response 47 account on X called her a "disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment."
The White House condemned Holmes' question, claiming it was disrespectful to the 16-year-old lifeguard present at the event. CNN responded by defending Holmes, stating that she posed a tough, relevant, and newsworthy question on behalf of the American people. They emphasized that personal attacks on journalists are unacceptable and inconsistent with the principles of a free press.
