Former Trump White House spokeswoman Sarah Matthews criticizes President Donald Trump’s recent comments targeting CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, calling them “disgusting” and describing the remarks as misogynistic. Matthews, who served as deputy press secretary during Trump’s first administration, says Collins is “a very, very good reporter” and argues that Trump goes after her more than other reporters because of the strength of her reporting. Multiple outlets report that Matthews’ response follows Trump’s remarks made in the Oval Office, which drew backlash from critics. The accounts are aligned in identifying Matthews as the speaker, citing her characterization of the comments as misogynistic, and emphasizing her praise of Collins’ work. While the outlets do not provide detailed context or verbatim quotes of all of Trump’s remarks, they consistently frame the issue as a direct verbal attack on a specific journalist and Matthews’ condemnation of the tone and intent behind it.
