Donald Trump on Sunday said CNN’s Kaitlan Collins was “not exactly Barbara Walters” during last week’s town hall. The former president’s biting reference to the pioneering TV journalist Walters, who died at the end of 2022, continued his Jekyll-and-Hyde regard for Collins, who moderated his first on-air appearance on CNN in years. On Truth Social Sunday, he noted the criticism CNN and its CEO Chris Licht received for its handling of the event. “It’s really amazing to watch the head of CNN get absolutely lambasted for asking me to do a so-called Town Hall,” he wrote. That’s when the trouble from the Radical Left started.”Trump then went after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) who joined the chorus of disapproval over CNN giving Trump such a platform.
