“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart says President Donald Trump and his allies just don’t know how to handle CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
On the latest episode of “The Weekly Show” podcast, Stewart was asked by a listener: “When Trump insults a reporter, do you think they should insult him back?”
“Oooh, do like a rap battle,” Stewart joked.
He likened it to Attorney General Pam Bondi’s fiery Senate hearing last week and how she appeared prepared with insulting comebacks for tough questions.
“It’s certainly where it’s all going, isn’t it?” Stewart said.
Stewart agreed with the suggestion that Collins “has it in her” to take Trump on directly.
“Kaitlan Collins is the only one,” he said. “I actually think she’s the only one that even they aren’t quite sure what to do with, because she’s always just matter-of-fact like, ‘Because you did say two and a half weeks ago, and I think I’ve got the quote right here.’”
“They’re all like, ‘What are you doing, homework? Why are you trying to make us all look bad? … You’re collecting facts and then you’re going to say them back at me, live? Unacceptable,’” he added.
