CNN reporter banned from WH event: ‘I’m from Alabama, I’m not rude’

Another CNN reporter has found themselves in hot water with the White House. This time the reporter tried to use her Alabama roots to clear her name.

According to a CNN report, Alabama native Kaitlan Collins was ‘dis-invited’ to an event in the Rose Garden after she shouted numerous questions at President Trump during his meeting with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker.

After being told by White House officials that she would not be able to attend the Rose Garden event, Collins says that she responded by explaining, “I’m from Alabama. I’m not rude. I believe you should always be polite when you ask a question. I totally believe that.”

During Trump’s meeting with Juncker, Collins twice asked, “Did Michael Cohen betray you, Mr. President?”

After not receiving a response, she continued with additional follow up questions regarding Cohen. Collins then concluded by asking, “Why is Vladimir Putin not accepting your invitation, Mr. President?”

In addition to referencing her Alabama manners, Collins also said her line of questioning was “totally normal.”
