President Trump is facing a new round of accusations that he is prejudiced against minorities after a series of confrontations with three black women reporters.
Trump on Friday disparaged White House reporter and CNN contributor April Ryan as a loser who doesnt know what the hell shes doing.
The outburst came at a press gaggle outside of the White House before leaving on a trip to Europe, an apparent reaction to Ryan having shouted out questions to Trump at a press conference Wednesday when she had not been called on.
She gets publicity and then she gets a pay raise or she gets a contract, I think, with CNN, but shes very nasty and she shouldnt be, Trump said. Ryan was not present for Trump's remarks.
During that same gaggle Friday, Abby Phillip, also with CNN, asked Trump about his new acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, who the presidents opponents say is too eager to defend the president from any legal scrutiny.
Do you want him to reign in Robert Mueller, asked Phillip, referring to the special counsel charged with investigating Russias interference in the 2016 election.
What a stupid question that is," Trump replied. "What a stupid question. But I watch you a lot, you ask a lot of stupid questions.
