President Donald Trump took a shot at CNN upon arriving at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, singling out correspondent Kaitlan Collins after recently barring the network from the White House.
“I’m surprised that CNN is here covering me. You shouldn’t be here!” Trump said, according to Channel 14 and the Associated Press.
When Collins responded that the United Nations had allowed CNN inside, Trump replied: “You should not be here covering me. You said you weren’t going to cover me, you shouldn’t be covering me.”
The exchange came days after Trump barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, accusing the outlets of unfair coverage. The three organizations have since sued the administration over the restrictions.
