"Your disgusting and inhumane question": White House and Trump lash out at CNN journalist

The White House and former President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on CNN White House correspondent Kristen Holmes, reacting aggressively to her questions during a press briefing. An account associated with the U.S. administration, Rapid Response 47, posted on X, calling Holmes' question "disgusting and inhumane" and suggesting her children would be "disgusted" upon discovering it. The account also accused the correspondent of delivering a "low blow against one of President Trump's aides" during a Q&A session in the Oval Office.

CNN defended its journalist, stating in a release that "Public officials are free to challenge information they disagree with, but personally attacking journalists for their questions is unworthy of the office and contrary to the freedom of the press." Holmes had initially questioned Trump about remarks made by Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who accused Trump of prioritizing personal interests over his presidential duties. Ossoff specifically mentioned Trump's desire to build a ballroom and travel with an aide named Natalie Harp, whose close proximity to Trump has been noted by several media outlets.

Later in the briefing, as Holmes attempted to ask about North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Trump directly confronted her. The former president repeatedly told her to "Shut up!" and called her a "noisy and turbulent person." He also extended his criticism to CNN, labeling it as a purveyor of "false information." These exchanges highlight a pattern of Trump's public interactions with journalists, particularly female reporters, whom he has often targeted with aggressive language.
