Karoline Leavitt BANS CNN’s Kaitlan Collins from Press Brief after STUPID Question full story below 👇👇👇

In a dramatic moment during Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, barred CNN’s Kaitlan Collins from further participation after a contentious exchange that left the briefing room stunned and social media ablaze.

The tension began when Collins posed a pointed question regarding the administration’s handling of recent ethics complaints within a federal agency.

According to multiple reporters in the room, Collins asked, “Why hasn’t the President taken any direct action, even after clear internal findings of misconduct?” Leavitt, visibly annoyed, responded sharply: “That’s a misleading, frankly stupid question that misrepresents both the facts and the administration’s response.”

Within minutes of the exchange, Leavitt announced from the podium that Collins would no longer be permitted to attend future briefings until “a formal apology is issued and CNN commits to upholding a standard of journalistic integrity.”

The move drew immediate backlash from members of the press corps and sparked a heated debate over freedom of the press and the role of media accountability.

CNN released a statement shortly after, defending Collins and calling the ban “an unprecedented and alarming act of press censorship in the White House briefing room.”

Leavitt later doubled down in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating: “When journalists come into the room with an agenda instead of a question, they don’t deserve the privilege of that platform.”

The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) condemned the ban, urging the administration to reconsider what it called “a dangerous precedent that threatens press freedom and democratic transparency.”

Collins, a veteran journalist who previously moderated a presidential debate and anchored a primetime CNN show, has not responded publicly but has received widespread support from colleagues across the political spectrum.

As of Thursday morning, the controversy continues to unfold, with legal analysts and press advocates weighing in on whether the ban may constitute a violation of First Amendment protections.

More updates are expected as both the administration and CNN remain firm in their positions.
