BREAKING: HELL YEAH! CNN boldly defends their reporter Kristen Holmes after the White House brought up her kids to smear her after she dared ask Trump about his alleged mistress.
This is how you stand up to this demented bully...
“Kristen Holmes is one of the most respected and accomplished journalists covering the White House. This afternoon, she did her job and asked the President of the United States a tough, relevant, and newsworthy question on behalf of the American people," CNN said in an official statement.
"Public officials are free to challenge reporting they disagree with, but personal attacks on journalists for asking questions are beneath the office and inconsistent with the principles of a free press. We stand firmly behind Kristen and reject these attacks in the strongest possible terms," the network added.
Yesterday, Holmes asked Trump about a viral speech from Senator Jon Ossoff in which he stated that Trump "doesn’t want to do the job” and would rather “build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar."
The reference to Harp — the "executive assistant" who many are now speculating might be Trump's mistress — enraged the President and he lashed out at Holmes, repeatedly telling her to be "quiet," calling her "disrespectful" and "fake news."
The memo went out to MAGA land to back up Trump's attack, and the official White House Rapid Response account on X targeted Holmes, writing: "
@KristenhCNN: Someday, your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question. They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive. It’s quite troubling."
We commend CNN for standing up in the face of this disgusting smear campaign against an upstanding reporter.
There is really only one big takeaway here: reporters need to start asking more questions about Natalie Harp.
Please ❤️ and share to urge the press to ask more questions about Natalie!
