Sarah Matthews, a former deputy press secretary for Donald Trump, suggested that Trump's frequent criticisms of CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins stem from his fear of her questioning. During an episode of CNN's NewsNight, Matthews stated that Collins was a reporter who intimidated both Trump and former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. She noted that McEnany sometimes avoided calling on Collins during press briefings due to her tough questioning style. Matthews condemned Trump's remarks during a recent press conference, where he told Collins to smile and criticized her demeanor. Trump had previously made similar comments about Collins not smiling while asking questions. Matthews expressed concern over the normalization of such behavior from the president towards female journalists. The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for a response.
