    ‘Don’t talk to me’: A look at Trump’s previous clashes with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins

    [ad_1]

    Here are some of those more memorable moments:

    When Collins was banned from a Rose Garden press conference

    In 2018, Collins was barred from attending a press conference in the Rose Garden after asking questions about Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, and Russian President Vladimir Putin while she was on duty as the pool reporter.

    At a photo-op in the Oval Office, Collins called out several questions to Trump as White House staffers ushered the press out of the room. Later, Collins said White House communications director Bill Shine and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called her into Shine’s office and told her she could not attend the upcoming press conference because her questions had been inappropriate.

    The incident sparked outrage from Collins’ fellow White House reporters and her own network, which issued a statement calling the move “retaliatory in nature and not indicative of an open and free press.”

    ‘A very nice question so beautifully asked’

    Trump mocked Collins at a 2019 press conference when she pressed him on statements he had made about his administration’s plans for a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border amid the partial government shutdown caused by a standoff between lawmakers and the White House over funding for the wall.

    “You ran your campaign promising supporters that Mexico is going to pay for the wall,” Collins began before Trump interrupted her. “Oh here we go again,” he said.

    “And that wall was going to be made of concrete,” Collins continued. “You just said earlier that the wall could be made of steel and right now our government is shut down over a demand from your administration that the American taxpayer pay for the wall. So how can you say that you are not failing on that promise to your supporters?”

    “A very nice question so beautifully asked, even though I just answered it,” Trump replied.

    “I just told you that we just made a trade deal. We will take in billions and billions of dollars, far more than the cost of the wall,” Trump said.

    Collins attempted to ask a follow-up question about that trade deal, but Trump had already moved on to a question from another reporter.

    ‘CNN is fake news. Don’t talk to me.’

    After CNN reported on North Korean President Kim Jong Un’s health in 2020, Trump attacked the network and Collins during a press conference for what he said he believed was incorrect reporting.

    Collins asked Trump if he had been in contact with North Korea, to which he replied, “I don’t want to say. I won’t say that. We have a good relationship with North Korea — as good as you can have. I mean, we have a good relationship with North Korea. I have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un and I hope he’s OK.”

    But when Collins attempted to ask a follow up, he shot her down and called CNN “fake news.”

    “No, that’s enough,” Trump said. “The problem is, you don’t write the truth.”

    “No, not CNN please,” he added when Collins continued to press him. “I told you, CNN is fake news. Don’t talk to me.”

    When Trump’s administration tried to make Collins move to the back of the briefing room

    Shortly after clashing over questions on North Korea, Trump’s staff tried to order Collins to move from her front-row seat in the White House briefing room, defying the seating assignments managed by the White House Correspondents’ Association, which White House officials had agreed to.

    Collins refused and the press conference went ahead, but Trump kept the briefing short and took no questions.

    When Trump walked out of a press conference after a question from Collins

    Trump abruptly ended a press conference in July 2020 after Collins tried to ask him questions about a video he retweeted that included false information about Covid-19.

    “The woman that you said is a ‘great doctor’ in that video that you retweeted last night said that masks don’t work and there’s a cure for COVID-19, both of which experts say is not true,” Collins said during a press briefing with the president. “She’s also made videos saying that doctors make medicine using DNA from aliens and that they’re trying to create a vaccine to make you immune from becoming religious. So, what’s the logic in retweeting that?”

    “She was on air with many other doctors. And they were big fans of hydroxychloroquine,” Trump replied. “And I thought she was very impressive in the sense that where she came — I don’t know which country she comes from — but she’s said that she’s had tremendous success with hundreds of different patients. And I thought her voice was an important voice, but I know nothing about her.”

    When Collins pressed Trump, he abruptly ended the press conference and quickly walked out.

  • Like Karnataka, Cong should also expose scams of previous BJP govt in Rajasthan: Pilot

    Like Karnataka, Cong should also expose scams of previous BJP govt in Rajasthan: Pilot

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Saturday referred to the party’s aggressive campaign in the Karnataka polls targeting the BJP over corruption to raise his old demand of exposing “scams” of the previous BJP government in Rajasthan, saying people will then “have faith that we do what we say”.

    He said he has been raising this issue for the last one-and-a-half years.

    “I had written letters for one-and-a-half years and I had urged for concrete action in the allegations of scams we had made during the BJP rule. I held a one-day fast in Jaipur too. I am repeatedly urging that strict action should be taken in this so that people have faith that we do what we say,” he told reporters in Barmer.

    Pilot said the Congress is raising the corruption issue in Karnataka and so the scams of the former BJP government should also be highlighted in Rajasthan.

    “We are accusing the BJP government in Karnataka of taking 40 per cent commission and people are believing it. That is why I say that time has come to expose the corruption that took place in Rajasthan during the BJP rule. We will have to live up to the commitment we had made,” he said.

    The former Rajasthan deputy chief minister had last month sat on fast here, piling pressure on his own party by targeting the Ashok Gehlot government in the state for “inaction” in alleged cases of corruption when the BJP was in power.

    Pilot also took a jibe at former chief minister Vasundhara Raje, saying “I never said that there is any collusion (between Gehlot and Raje). People are unnecessarily giving their clarification.”

    Pilot said he just wants the truth to come out.

    “Facts should be brought to the fore by getting the allegations made by us to be investigated by a sitting or retired judge of the high court,” he said.

    A few days ago, Raje had rejected allegations of collusion with Gehlot as lie, saying milk and lemon juice never mix.

    Earlier, while addressing a programme organised by Forest Minister Hemaram Chaudhary, Pilot said he will continue his fight against corruption even if “some people” do not like it.

    “Corruption is like a termite which is making the country hollow,” he said, adding “We have to raise our voice against loot and corruption in the country and state.”

    Gehlot and Pilot have been in a power tussle in the state since the Congress formed the government in December 2018.

    Pilot once again targeted his party’s government in the state over the paper leak issue, saying the hard work put in by students goes in vain if an exam gets cancelled.

    “Our children work hard for years, their parents pay for tuition to make them study… they give exams but the question paper gets leaked and the exam gets cancelled, don’t we feel sad?” he said.

    In January, Pilot said when incidents of paper leaks are happening one after the other, accountability will have to be fixed.

    He also backed the protest by women wrestlers at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, saying “Today, our girls are sitting at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, they have alleged exploitation… for how many more days will we not feel their pain?”

    He further said people with good conduct and good thinking should enter politics and the voters should choose such leaders.

    “Everything can change but there is a need to take steps. All dreams can come true but there is a need to take everyone along,” he added.

    Pilot on this occasion inaugurated ‘Virendra Dham’ hostel and statue of minister Hemaram Chaudhary’s late son Virendra Chaudhary who died in 2015.

  • Kuwait court nullifies 2022 election results, reinstates previous Parliament

    Kuwait court nullifies 2022 election results, reinstates previous Parliament

    [ad_1]

    Kuwait City: Kuwait’s Constitutional Court on Sunday annulled the 2022 National Assembly and brought back the 2020 Parliament, the media reported.

    The ruling, which took immediate effect, saw members of the previous Parliament, including Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanem, taking office, Xinhua reported citing Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

    The decision came after the Constitutional Court ruled that the election process in September 2021 in all the five electoral districts was null and void.

    Last December, the Constitutional Court postponed its examination of appeals lodged by several electoral districts against the Parliamentary election results, according to KUNA.

    In January, the then-Kuwaiti cabinet resigned, following a standoff between the government and the opposition-led Parliament over financial relief policies.

    Earlier this month, the court announced it would rule on March 19 on the electoral appeals.

    [ad_1]

    Rajasthan Budget 2023: CM Ashok Gehlot reads old budget for 7 minutes inside AssemblyRajasthan Budget 2023: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday accidentally read the old Budget speech on the floor of the Assembly for about 7 minutes. He stopped only after being interrupted.

     

    The chief whip later stopped Gehlot from reading further and the House was adjourned for 30 minutes. When the session resumed, CM Ashok Gehlot clarified on why he was reading the previous year budget. CM Gehlot said that his party couldn’t fulfil last year budget promises and hence he read the previous year budget again.

     

    One of the senior BJP Rajasthan leaders said that nobody pays attention to what CM Gehlot says because they can’t understand what he says and even if they do, congress is not going to fulfil those promises anyway. “So what’s the point” he added.

     

    Minister close to CM Ashok Gehlot said that Gehlot believes that the budget case was swapped by Sachin Pilot to make Gehlot look fool and place himself a taller leader in Congress than Gehlot.

  • Congress’ 2018 return in Rajasthan because of my previous work: Ashok Gehlot

    Congress’ 2018 return in Rajasthan because of my previous work: Ashok Gehlot

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: In an apparent rebuttal to his former deputy, Sachin Pilot, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday said the Congress returned to power in 2018 because of the work done by him in his previous dispensation.

    As he said this, he set the target of winning 156 seats in the assembly election due later this year.

    Pilot, who has been locked in a power tussle with Gehlot for long, had recently said the return of Congress to power was due to the struggle of the party leaders and workers from 2013 to 2018, when he was the PCC chief.

    In one of the public programmes, Pilot also spoke about the need for the older lot to make way for the younger generation of leaders.

    Pilot has repeatedly said that the number of Congress MLAs, which had been reduced to 21 in 2013, was shot up only after the party high command made him the Pradesh Congress Committee chief in the state.

    Gehlot, without naming Pilot, said the 2013 rout was largely because of the ‘Modi wave’ but within six months of the BJP government in state, people had realised their mistake.

    “So an atmosphere was created and that was a big reason for the Congress to come back. Other reasons are always there, such as the party workers’ struggle on the streets. But the main reason was that it was in the mind of people that they had made a mistake by changing the government in 2013,” he told reporters after a state Reupulic Day function at Sawai Man Singh Stadium here.

    Gehlot said that the BJP has no issues to rake up against his government and there is no anti-incumbency feeling among the people, who are happy with its schemes and programmes.

    He said that state schemes such as Chiranjeevi Health Insurance are being talked about across the country, and employees are happy with the revival of the Old Pension Scheme.

    “Our path is clear. When our government came in 1998, there were 156 seats, I was the PCC chief then. I would like to move ahead with ‘Mission 156’. We have already started work in that direction,” he said.

    Gehlot said his MLAs supported him and helped him tide over the infight during the political crisis in 2020 that saved his government.

    He said he fought hard to save his government and to serve people, and will continue to do so till his “last breath.”

    “When I speak, I speak after thinking, I do not speak anything without thinking. It is a God’s gift to me that when I speak, the voice of my heart comes on my tongue,” he said.

    “This time there is no resentment among the public, no displeasure with the government, nor is there the Modi wave which was there earlier. I hope people will support me,” he said.

    On the Opposition, he said that the BJP has mastered the art of “horse trading” and toppling governments, which it has done in other states, but they failed in Rajasthan because of support of the MLAs and the public to him.

    The CM said the state BJP has no real issues to target his government with and this is why it has been reprimanded by the high command.

    Gehlot said that he and Rajasthan are on the target of BJP and this is the reson BJP chief JP Nadda and other leaders repeatedly come to Rajasthan.
