JUST IN: The Reporter Trump Called “Stupid” for Correcting Him on the D.C. Shooter Breaks Silence with Five Strong Words to President Donald Trump
A reporter who recently drew national attention after being called “stupid” by President Donald Trump has broken her silence, delivering a forceful five-word message that is now circulating widely across social media: “Do your job with honesty.”
The exchange occurred earlier this week during a press briefing when the reporter corrected Trump after he inaccurately referenced details about the suspect in the Washington, D.C. shooting investigation.
The correction appeared to irritate the president, who dismissed her input and labeled her “stupid” in front of cameras.
Following days of speculation, the reporter issued her response in a brief but pointed statement, emphasizing the role of the press in ensuring the accuracy of public information.
She stated that her comment was not personal but rooted in journalistic responsibility.
Media organizations and press-freedom advocates have rallied behind her, arguing that factual corrections are essential in moments of national concern.
Critics of the president say the incident reflects a pattern of hostility toward reporters who challenge or fact-check him.
The White House has not responded to the reporter’s statement, though the episode has sparked renewed debate over the relationship between the press and the presidency—especially during moments of public crisis.
