April Ryan responds to Trump calling her a 'loser': 'We are not weak'

Journalist April Ryan on Friday responded to President Trump calling her a "loser," saying that if standing up and asking questions of the president makes her a loser, she's "been a loser for 21 years."

"He’s trying to show that he’s strong against the press," Ryan, a White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks, said on CNN. "We’re the 'enemies.' He wants to set an example with what he thinks or who he thinks [is] weak. We are not weak."

Ryan's comments came on a day that Trump went after a number of journalists as he spoke outside the White House. Trump slammed Ryan, who is also a contributor to CNN, as a "loser" who "doesn't know what the hell she is doing."



Ryan defended herself during her appearance on CNN, saying that she "is a very highly educated, intelligent reporter who deserved an answer when she lobbed a question of the president who responded."

"And if that makes me a loser, then I've been a loser for 21 years," she said.

One thing's for certain. She's a lot smarter than the Tourette's addled dotard.
